Abstract:In hybrid sorghum breeding, basic agronomic traits such as days to flowering and plant height of sorghum seed parents must be within a specific range for hybrid seed production. Because many sorghum programs select new B‐lines outside of commercial seed production environments, the purpose of this study was to determine if genomic prediction is effective to evaluate new lines for their agronomic potential for seed production. Two B‐line RIL populations were evaluated across several environments for days to mid… Show more
