Abstract excerpt
Use of trifluoromethanesulfonamide (TFMSA), a male gametocide, increases the opportunities to identify promising B-lines because large quantities of F1 seed can be generated prior to the laborious task of B-line sterilization. Combining TFMSA technology with genomic selection could efficiently evaluate sorghum B-lines in hybrid combination to maximize the rates of genetic gain of the crop. This study used two...
