Association mapping for Striga resistance and agronomic-related traits in sorghum. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Over 50% of arable land available for cereal production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely infested with Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, posing a significant challenge to agricultural productivity in the region. In this study, we performed association mapping of plant height, panicle height, number of leaves per plant, field fresh grain weight,
