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.

为促进美国国家植物种质系统（NPGS）高粱收藏的使用与保护，特从埃塞俄比亚选取了370份核心种质资源并进行遗传特征分析。这一高度遗传及表型多样化的种质资源库对公众开放，可供育种计划和遗传学家有效提升该作物。
