Genetic Components of Variance and the Role of Pollen Traits in Sorghum Ergot Resistance
2006-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Ergot (caused predominantly by Claviceps africana Freder., Mantle & De Milliano) is a disease of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), with pollen traits reported to be associated with resistance. This study investigated the genetic architecture and the role of pollen quantity (PQ) and pollen viability (PV) in ergot resistance in an F5 recombinant inbred line (RIL) sorghum population developed from the cross betwee...
