Genome-wide identification of QTNs and candidate genes in Ethiopian sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench) landraces using SNP-based approaches

This study highlights the complexity of trait inheritance shaped by diverse genetic factors and underscores the significance of major, stable, and unique QTNs for marker-assisted selection. Functional genome annotation revealed that candidate genes are involved in key biological processes and metabolic pathways, including starch and sucrose metabolism, secondary metabolism, and hormonal signaling.
