Sorghum bicolor Raw sequence reads. Sorghum bicolor

Specifically, our research objectives are to:1. Genotypically characterize a diverse set of sorghum germplasm for selective phenotyping and phenotypically assess the biomass potential of a selected representative set for yield and composition for genomewide selection (GS).2. Develop a standardized method for high-throughput and cost-effective phenotyping for sorghum biomass composition through near-infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy.3. Discover additional useful germplasm by genomewide prediction and useful genes by association mapping for biomass yield and composition.
