Total sugars, reducing sugars, and phenols were estimated in internodes of tolerant and highly susceptible sovhum genotypes to charcoal, ln tolerant genotypes the sugar level was 2 to 3 times higher than in susceptible ones; phenol concentration also was higher in tolerant genotypes. In tolerant genotypes, sugar and phenol concentration was high in the lower most and in the upper most mternode. This may be used to identify sources of resistance.
