Abstract excerpt
Grain length-to-width ratio (GLWR) is a crucial trait influencing sorghum grain quality, particularly in brewing applications such as Baijiu production. However, the genetic basis of GLWR remains poorly understood. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 255 Chinese sorghum accessions and identified a gene, encoding trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase, named SbTPP1, as a principal modulator of...
