Abstract excerpt
Plant disease resistance is often a complex, polygenic trait, making its genetic dissection with traditional genome-wide association studies (GWAS) challenging. Grain mold in sorghum, a devastating disease caused by a fungal complex, exemplifies this complexity. We hypothesized that a machine learning (ML)-driven GWAS, employing diverse phenotypic representations from a panel of 306 sorghum accessions, could more...
