Genomic characterization of a core set of the USDA-NPGS Ethiopian sorghum germplasm collection

To encourage the use and conservation of the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) sorghum collection of the United States, a core set of 370 accessions from Ethiopia was created and genetically characterized. This highly genetically and phenotypically diverse germplasm resource is available to the public for breeding programs and geneticist to effectively improve this crop.
