The increasing cost of energy and finite oil and gas reserves has created a need to develop
alternative fuels from renewable sources. Currently, the development of a renewable …

The genomic revolution of the past decade has greatly improved our understanding of the
genetic make-up of living organisms. The sequencing of crop genomes has completely …

Accelerating crop improvement in sorghum, a staple food for people in semiarid regions
across the develo** world, is key to ensuring global food security in the context of climate …

Sorghum, an African grass related to sugar cane and maize, is grown for food, feed, fibre
and fuel. We present an initial analysis of the∼ 730-megabase Sorghum bicolor (L.) …

Despite important strides in marker technologies, the use of marker‐assisted selection has
stagnated for the improvement of quantitative traits. Biparental mating designs for the …

Sorghum is a food and feed cereal crop adapted to heat and drought and a staple for 500
million of the world's poorest people. Its small diploid genome and phenotypic diversity …

Association map** is a powerful strategy for identifying genes underlying quantitative
traits in plants. We have assembled and characterized genetic and phenotypic diversity of a …

Despite its status as one of the world's major crops, linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns
have not been systematically characterized across the genome of Asian rice (Oryza sativa) …

Key message We describe the development and application of the Sorghum QTL Atlas, a
high-resolution, open-access research platform to facilitate candidate gene identification …

Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], like its close relative, sugarcane (Saccharum
spp.), has been selected to accumulate high levels of edible sugars in the stem. Sweet …
