Scientists identify genomic regions controlling important genetic traits for Napier grass
Napier grass, also known as elephant grass, is one of the most important fodder crops grown across the global tropics. As this new year commences, a team of scientists from East Africa, China and South Korea have identified 74 genomic regions containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) – sections of DNA which correlate with a broad range of morphological, agronomic, and feed quality traits.
