The potential of genome editing for sustainable African agriculture symposium, part of the Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB) conference series is being held from June 30 to July 1 in Ghent, Belgium.
A report written by Melanie Harrison, USDA sorghum and millet curator, sums up the status and needs of the collection. According to the report, sorghum, with a total of 47,458 accessions, is the largest crop collection at the Griffin, Georgia
Researchers genetically assessed 445 diverse sorghum lines and confirmed significant phenotypic differences based on end uses and evidence of frequent exchanges of genetic information between wild and cultivated lines and among subpopulations. SbTB1, associated with lateral branching, and its association with Sb1, the gene for seed shattering, were investigated to further the understanding of sorghum’s domestication.
RNA-Seq and GWAS were used to analyze sorghum forage yield traits across four environments and two locations. This integrative approach to analyzing omics data shows potential in the identification of candidate genes for complex traits.
