Other claims from this paper (4)
- Method / resource Image-based seed color measurements were more consistent across biological replicates than human assessment.
- Method / resource Image-based GWAS identified more signals near known seed color genes than manually scored seed color, with stronger support.
- Association Previously unreported genomic intervals linked to seed color co-localized with the sorghum ortholog of a transcription factor that regulates pathway enzymes in rice.
- Method / resource Image analysis tools trained on rice or wheat seeds, used without retraining, may aid efforts to develop higher value sorghum varieties.
