Genes and pathways determining flowering time variation in temperate adapted sorghum

Harshita Mangal, Kyle Linders, Jonathan Turkus, Nikee Shrestha, Blake Long, Ernst Cebert, Xianyan Kuang, J. Vladimir Torres‐Rodríguez, James C. Schnable

This study identifies genetic determinants of flowering time variation in sorghum using genome and transcriptome-wide association studies, revealing conserved gene functions but non-orthologous gene involvement compared to related species.
