Registration of ‘Millo Blanco’ Sorghum

Increased Power To Dissect Adaptive Traits in Global Sorghum Diversity Using a Nested Association Mapping Population

“…The common parent, RTx430, is an elite pollinator line that has been widely used in public and commercial breeding programs in the U.S. ( Miller 1984 ; Smith and Frederiksen 2000 ). Ten diverse founder lines were selected to represent global sorghum diversity as alternate parents: Ajabsido, Macia, P898012, SC1103, SC1345, SC265, SC283, SC35, SC971, and Segaolane ( Table 1 ) ( Sotomayor-Rios et al 1996 ; Rosenow et al 1997 ; Dahlberg et al 1998 ; Rosenow 1999; ICRISAT 2000 ). Each of the alternate parents was crossed with the common parent RTx430, and the progeny selfed to generate F 2 populations.…”

Registration of the sorghum nested association mapping (NAM) population in RTx430 background

“…Ten sorghum inbred lines-Ajabsido, Macia, P898012, SC1103, SC1345, SC265, SC283, SC35, SC971, and Segaolane-were selected from the SAP as founders for the NAM (Dahlberg et al, 1998;Rosenow et al, 1997Rosenow et al, , 1999Sotomayor-Rios et al, 1996) based on population structure, genetic grouping, and other unique agronomic characteristics (Table 1) (Yu et al, 2013). The common recurrent parent, RTx430, is an elite breeding line that has been widely used as a pollinator in breeding programs in the United States (Miller, 1984;Smith & Frederiksen, 2000).…”
