QTL mapping of forage yield and forage yield component traits in Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense

Y. L. Liu, Wang, L. H., Li, J. Q., Zhan, Q. W., Zhang, Q., Li, J. F., and Fan, F. F., QTL mapping of forage yield and forage yield component traits in Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense, vol. 14, pp. 3854-3861, 2015.

The sorghum-sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense) is an important forage crop. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms related to forage yield and the 4 forage yield component traits in this forage crop. In this study, a linkage map was constructed with 124 assigned SSR markers using an F2 mapping population derived from the crossing of sorghum Tx623A and sudangrass Sa. Nine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected for forage yield and the 4 forage yield component traits using inclusive composite interval mapping.
