Abstract: This study investigates the genetic variability among lowland sorghum accessions collected from southern Ethiopia, focusing on grain quality traits. The research, conducted by Gebre et al., explores the diversity within sorghum germplasm to identify potential sources of desirable traits for breeding programs. The authors employ a comprehensive analysis to assess various grain quality parameters, shedding light on the genetic makeup and potential utility of local sorghum varieties. By elucidating the variability present in these accessions, the study contributes valuable insights to sorghum breeding efforts aimed at improving yield, nutritional quality, and overall resilience in southern Ethiopia’s agricultural landscapes
