About Sorghum PI154987

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is a drought-tolerant, warm-season C4 grass cultivated globally for grain, forage, and bioenergy applications. It is a flagship species for genomic research due to its relatively small, diploid genome and extensive germplasm resources.

The PI_154987 accession is one of 32 diverse sorghum lines selected for de novo genome assembly as part of the Sorghum pan-genome project. This line contributes to capturing global genetic diversity and supports investigations into presence–absence variation, copy number variation, and structural genomic diversity relevant to agronomic and bioenergy traits.
