Abstract excerpt
The increasing frequency and intensity of droughts present significant challenges to global food security. In this study, we examined the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying drought tolerance and resilience in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) by phenotyping the Sorghum Association Panel (SAP; n = 397) for a broad suite of traits. These included leaf anatomical characteristics (stomatal density [SD],...
