Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Cold tolerance in sorghum is largely stage- and environment-specific yet partially shared genetic control allows improvement across developmental stages with mostly modest, trait-specific trade-offs. Cold tolerance is a major constraint to sorghum production in temperate environments, and its improvement is therefore a key breeding objective. However, cold tolerance varies across developmental stages...
