Abstract:
Sweet sorghum is a cereal crop that can grow for multiple purpose uses. Despite its global
significance and potential, it faced genetic erosion, due to its low productivity and low
farmers’ preferences over grain sorghum, which is not considered as one of the most
important cereal crops in Ethiopia. To utilize and popularize this crop, understanding the
genetic diversity and population structure is a pre-request. Therefore, this study aimed to
assess the genetic diversity and population structure of 82 Ethiopian sweet sorghum
accessions that represents seven geographic regions of Ethiopia using 15 simple sequence
repeat markers
