Introgression of QTLs for Drought Tolerance into Farmers’ Preferred Sorghum Varieties

Introgression of QTLs for Drought Tolerance into Farmers’ Preferred Sorghum Varieties

Sorghum is a major staple food crop for the people in semi-arid areas of Africa and Asia. Post-flowering drought is a global constraint of sorghum production. The study aimed to improve stay-green (STG) characteristics of farmer-preferred sorghum varieties in Tanzania using marker-assisted backcross...
