Flywheel Genomics: Simultaneous trait discovery and genetic gain in plant breeding

This paper introduces Flywheel Genomics, a framework that integrates trait discovery with rapid cycling breeding to improve plant breeding efficiency and genetic gain.

Phenotyping replication is a major determinant of genomic predictive ability in sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench)

The paper evaluates how phenotyping replication, training population size, and genomic relatedness affect genomic predictive ability in sweet sorghum breeding programs.

Ancient pangenomic origins of noncanonical NLR genes underlying the recent evolutionary rescue of a staple crop

The paper identifies the pangenomic origins and molecular basis of RMES1, a noncanonical NLR gene that enabled evolutionary rescue in sorghum by disrupting aphid feeding through global immunity activation.

Developing future resilience from signatures of adaptation across the sorghum pangenome

This paper constructs a sorghum pangenome and identifies trait-associated variants to inform climate-aware genome-enabled breeding strategies.

A sorghum Practical Haplotype Graph facilitates genome-wide imputation and cost-effective genomic prediction

This paper introduces a sorghum Practical Haplotype Graph (PHG) that enables accurate SNP calling and imputation from low-coverage sequencing data, improving genomic prediction accuracy and reducing genotyping costs.
