TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented high coverage (16-45 × ) resequenced genomes of 44 sorghum lines representing the primary gene pool and spanning dimensions of geographic origin, end-use and taxonomic group.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship Between the Stay-Green Trait and Grain Yield in Elite Sorghum Hybrids Grown in a Range of Environments
TL;DR: The results indicate that selection for stay-green in elite sorghum hybrids may be broadly beneficial for increasing yield in a wide range of environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring and Exploiting Genetic Variation from Unadapted Sorghum Germplasm in a Breeding Program
TL;DR: The method used proved to be an effective way to introduce new alleles from unadapted sorghum germplasm into elite breeding material and the potential of the populations as a resource for nested association mapping to elucidate the architecture of complex traits is discussed.

TL;DR: These assembled genomes enable the leveraging of existing cereal functional genomics data against the novel diversity available in Sorghum, providing an unmatched resource for the genetic improvement of sorghum and other grass species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large‐scale GWAS in sorghum reveals common genetic control of grain size among cereals
Yongfu Tao,Xianrong Zhao,Xuemin Wang,Adrian Hathorn,Colleen H. Hunt,Colleen H. Hunt,Alan Cruickshank,Alan Cruickshank,Erik van Oosterom,Ian D. Godwin,Emma S. Mace,Emma S. Mace,David Jordan +12 more
TL;DR: Understanding of the genetic architecture of grain size in cereal is enhanced, and the way for exploration of underlying molecular mechanisms and manipulation of this trait in breeding practices is paved.
