Abstract excerpt
Grain size is a key yield component of cereal crops and a major quality attribute. It is determined by a genotype's genetic potential and its capacity to fill the grains. This study aims to dissect the genetic architecture of grain size in sorghum. An integrated genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using a diversity panel (n = 837) and a BC-NAM population (n = 1421). To isolate genetic effects...
