GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS IN SORGHUM GERMPLASM COLLECTIONS FROM EASTERN AFRICA AS ESTIMATED BY MORPHO-AGRONOMICAL AND SSR MARKERS
Eastern Africa, where sorghum is a significant arable crop, is arid and areas are at risk of desertification. Consequently, many valuable landraces of sorghum are at risk for genetic erosion. Genetic diversity plays a vital role in the success of any breeding programme. This study aimed to investiga...
