The paper develops and validates a mid-density SNP array for sorghum using NGS, showing it performs as well as high-density GBS for trait prediction and breeding applications.

This study uses phenomics and genomics to improve early-season chilling tolerance in sorghum through marker-assisted breeding, showing up to 24% performance improvement in lines with the CT allele.

This study constructs high-quality sorghum genome assemblies and identifies structural variations and resistance genes associated with sugarcane aphid resistance.

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with chilling tolerance in sorghum using nested association mapping and finds some loci co-localize with historically selected genes.
