The electronic band structures of zinc-blende In_xGa_{1-x}N alloys with x varying from 0.03 to 0.5 are examined within the density functional theory. The calculations, including structural optimizations, are performed by means of the full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital and pseudopotential methods. The effects of varying the composition, x, and of applying external pressure are studied. A composition-dependent band gap bowing parameter in the range of 1.6-2 eV is obtained. A strong nonlinearity in the composition dependence of the pressure coefficient of the band gap is found.
