Abstract excerpt
Sorghum is a worldwide important cereal crop and widely cultivated for grain and forage production. Greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) is one of the major insect pests of sorghum and can cause serious damage to sorghum plants, particularly in the US Great Plains. Identification of chromosomal regions responsible for greenbug resistance will facilitate both map-based cloning and marker-assisted breeding....
