Abstract excerpt
Deployment of resistant genotypes is one of the major components of ergot disease management in sorghum. Identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with resistance to ergot is a key step to facilitate sorghum breeding for resistance to ergot. The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with resistance to ergot in sorghum. A total of 330 lines from the global...
