Evaluation of genetic diversity, agronomic traits, and anthracnose resistance in the NPGS Sudan Sorghum Core collection

Table 5 Genomic regions associated with four agronomic traits and anthracnose resistance based on the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the NPGS Sudan core collection. GWAS based on the fixed and radom model Circulating Probability Unification (farmCPU) regression analysis with 183,184 SNPs
