Cover Story: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is the fifth most crucial cereal crop globally, yet its seed morphology remains relatively unexplored. This study examined seed morphology traits in 245 sorghum lines for links to fungal disease resistance. Head smut-resistant lines displayed larger and more circular seed shapes when compared to susceptible lines, potentially implicating a link between plant development and infection to Sporisorium reilianum. Additionally, GWAS, using over 24,000 seeds and 290,000 SNPs, identified markers linked to morphology traits. Through mapping these markers in the sorghum genome, novel candidate genes that influence the morphology of plant seeds have been revealed. View this paper
