Interpretive Summary: The sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] nested association mapping (NAM) populations, developed at Kansas State University, is comprised of 2121 recombinant inbred lines (RILs). These NAM RILs were derived from 10 founder lines each crossed separately to RTx430 to develop ten bi-parental mapping populations. All NAM RILs have been genotyped are currently being used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) markers for many complex yield, grain quality, abiotic and biotic stress traits. This plant release represents sorghum germplasm that can be used by the sorghum research community to improve the agronomic and genetic quality of sorghum.

Technical Abstract: The sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] nested association mapping (NAM) populations (Reg. No…..), developed at Kansas State University, is comprised of 2121 recombinant inbred lines (RILs). These NAM RILs were derived from 10 founder lines each crossed separately to RTx430 to develop ten bi-parental mapping populations. All NAM RILs have been genotyped through genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 with a high-output flowcell and 100-cycle single-end sequencing. NAM RILs are currently being used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) markers for many complex yield, grain quality, abiotic and biotic stress traits.
