Abstract excerpt
Allele mining of crop pangenomes can enable the identification of novel variants for trait improvement, increase crop genetic diversity, and purge deleterious mutations around fixed genomic regions. Sorghum, a C4 cereal crop domesticated in the tropics, was selected for reduced plant height and maturity to develop combine-harvestable and photoperiod-insensitive US grain sorghums. To breed semi-dwarf US grain...
