Abstract excerpt
Evolution of plants under climatic gradients may lead to clinal adaptation. Understanding the genomic basis of clinal adaptation in crops species could facilitate breeding for climate resilience. We investigated signatures of clinal adaptation in the cereal crop sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. [Moench]) to the precipitation gradient in West Africa using a panel (n = 607) of sorghum accessions from diverse...
