Abstract

Key message We mapped 11 sorghum traits, identified 33 candidate genes, and found a grain yield gene (GID1) that regulates seed development and a grass-specific tillering gene (DUF1618) transferred to Striga hermonthica.

Keywords: GWAS; Sorghum bicolor; Striga; candidate genes; developmental and reproductive traits; mini core.
