Description Sweet sorghum is an excellent feedstock for ethanol production and is also used for food and livestock feed. Germplasm collection
and characterization in sweet sorghum is a crucial step towards breeding and development of superior genotypes for various enduses.
In the present study, 13 Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were used for genotyping 175 Ethiopian sweet sorghum
accessions alongside 27 improved accessions from eastern and southern Africa. All the tested markers detected 159 alleles and a high
polymorphism information content (PIC) averaging 0.69. A comparison between Ethiopian and improved accessions revealed higher
allele numbers (124) in Ethiopian than improved accessions (92 alleles). More than half (65 out of 124) of the alleles observed in the
Ethiopian accessions were rare (
