Genetic Diversity, Association, and Path Coefficient Analyses of Sorghum [ (L.) Monech] Genotypes.

For sustainable genetic improvement of crops like sorghum, assessing genetic variability and knowing the nature and extent of the association between grain yield and yield-related traits is a prerequisite. However, there needs to be sufficient information about the genetic variability study as well as yield-related trait correlation and path coefficient analysis for sorghum accessions, especially those from southern Ethiopia. Hence, this field experiment assessed genetic variability, determined the nature and extent of phenotypic-genetic correlation, and analyzed the path coefficients among 17 quantitative traits.

Genetic variability among lowland sorghum accessions collected from southern Ethiopia for grain quality traits.
