Objective:
Conserve, manage, and assess genetic diversity of sorghum genetic resources and associated information for the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS).

Approach:
Introduce, increase, maintain, characterize, evaluate, and conserve sorghum germplasm in the National Plant Germplasm System. Develop and characterize collection subsets to assess genetic diversity for sorghum improvement. Evaluate genetic diversity for disease resistance in sorghum germplasm subsets.
