Description Although sorghum is a crop grown under harsh environments, its productivity
is adversely affected by various abiotic stresses including drought, temperature
extremes, low fertility, and mineral toxicity among others. In recent years a
large number of genetic and genomic resources have become available in
sorghum, which provide researchers opportunities to relate sequence variations
with phenotypic traits of interest and their utilization in sorghum improvement
programs. The application of the molecular marker and genomic technologies
has shown promise for efficient breeding. However, very few successful
examples are available in the public domain of research in this direction. Some
of these successes specifically related to application of molecular marker
technologies for improving abiotic stresses are explained in this chapter. With
recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and
high-throughput phenotyping platforms/technologies, utilizing the
new/advanced mapping populations such as nested-association mapping
(NAM), backcross-derived NAM has shown great potential. These recent
advancements will be the drivers for integration of genomics technologies in
routine breeding programs in the immediate future.
