Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, L. Moench) production in many agro-ecologies is constrained by a variety of stresses, including high levels of aluminium (Al) commonly found in acid soils.

METHODS: In this study, molecular markers associated with Al tolerance were identified using a mapping population developed by...
