摘要：
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to new forage crops and methods of creating new forage crops. For example, chemical mutagenesis is used to create mutant crops having desirable forage characteristics. In some embodiments, a mutant sorghum plant is produced by inducing mutagenesis producing a population of mutant sorghum plants using the treated reproductive portion assaying the population of mutant sorghum for a C493Y mutation in CYP79A1 and growing the mutant sorghum plant, wherein the mutant sorghum plant exhibits altered dhurrin content or catabolism as compared to a control sorghum plant.
