Germplasm

The genome of Sorghum Tx2783, a sugarcane aphid (SCA)-resistant line, has been assembled and annotated by (Wang et al, 2021).

The Sorghum bicolor inbred line RTx436, used in the development of high-yielding hybrids, has been assembled and annotated by (Wang et al, 2021).

Sorghum bicolor RTx430, a grain sorghum inbred commonly used as pollinator in hybrid production, whose genome is known to be rich in repeats, was assembled and annotated by (Deschamps et al. 2018).

Sorghum bicolor ‘RIO’, an archetypal sweet sorghum line characterized by their ability to produce a high concentration of soluble sugars in the stalk, which can be extracted for human consumption, was assembled and annotated by (Cooper et al, 2019).

Sorghum bicolor inbred variety ‘BTx623’ has short stature and an early maturing genotype and is used primarily to produce grain sorghum hybrids. It is a line susceptible to sugarcane aphid and sensitive to low nitrogen, and therefore often used in functional comparative studies.
