A stable genomic variant for photoperiodic flowering plasticity to enhance grain mold escape and yield stability in sorghum

Djidjoho A.T. Hodehou, Cyril Diatta, Souleymane Bodian, Mbery Ndour, Diariétou Sambakhe, Bassirou Sine, Terry J. Felderhoff, Diaga Diouf, Geoffrey P. Morris, Ndjido Ardo Kane, Jacques M. Faye

The paper identifies stable genomic loci associated with photoperiodic flowering and grain mold resistance in sorghum, providing tools for breeding climate-resilient varieties.

Genomic approaches to build de novo elite breeding gene pools from locally-adapted landraces

Safiètou T. Fall, Alexander Wireko Kena, Brian R. Rice, Ghislain Kanfany, Cyril Diatta, Ndjido Ardo Kane, Allan K. Fritz, Geoffrey P. Morris

The paper develops genomic approaches to build elite gene pools from locally-adapted landraces, finding that QGI effectively identifies elite pairs while cis-elite crosses yield better genetic gain.
