Abstract excerpt
Sorghum, the fifth most important cereal crop globally, faces persistent threats from fungal diseases that limit productivity and resilience. To investigate the genetic basis of disease resistance and geographic adaptation, we applied a machine learning-enabled genome-wide association study (GWAS) to a panel of 377 genetically diverse sorghum accessions, incorporating nearly 300,000 SNP markers and phenotypic...
