Description

Phenotypic data collected from field trials, genotypic data generated through genotyping by sequencing, coupled with agro-climatic data of sorghum accessions from Ethiopia were used to conduct comprehensive germplasm characterizations. The datasets were also used to implement genome-environment association (GEA) studies to explore the genetic basis of adaptive traits and describe insight into the Ethiopian sorghum germplasm, which is important in the world sorghum collection.
