Introgression of anthracnose resistance loci into a sweet sorghum genetic background

Sweet sorghum is becoming an important source of feedstock to produce renewable fuels that can be highly affected by anthracnose (Colletotrichum sublineola), a major disease affecting all aboveground parts of the plant. The high genetic diversity of the pathogen requires multiple resistance genes to achieve stable resi...
