Other claims from this paper (19)
- Method / resource Spatial models increased precision and efficiency in low-input field trials and could change genotype rankings.
- Intervention effect Low-P soil conditions reduced sorghum grain yield.
- Intervention effect Low-P soil conditions reduced sorghum plant height.
- Intervention effect Low-P soil conditions delayed sorghum flowering.
- Observation West African sorghum showed exploitable genetic variation for phosphorus efficiency.
- Method / resource Direct selection under low P was more efficient than indirect selection under high P.
- Observation Landrace genotypes showed higher P acquisition capacity and specific low-P adaptation.
- Observation Durra and Guinea races showed similar specific low-P adaptation.
- Observation Photoperiod-sensitive genotypes showed less heading delay under low P.
- Observation Photoperiod-sensitive genotypes had a higher P acquisition rate.
- Observation Photoperiod-sensitive genotypes showed specific low-P adaptation.
- Observation West African sorghum showed large genetic diversity.
- Association Multiple genomic regions, including major contributors, were associated with low-P adaptation and performance.
- Association Markers in sorghum PSTOL1 homologs enhanced P uptake under low P.
- Mechanism Increased root growth was proposed to explain performance linked to PSTOL1-homolog markers.
- Association Grain yield under low P and Al tolerance were linked to the same region, probably SbMATE.
- Observation Guinea race sorghum was a source of low-P alleles and Al tolerance.
- Recommendation The authors recommend low-P direct selection, low grain P concentration, and marker assisted selection with PSTOL1 and SbMATE regions.
- Method / resource Genomic selection appeared promising for increasing selection response.
