Project Goals: The goal of this project is to identify the genes involved in flowering time and to elucidate genetic mechanisms controlling the flowering responses of switchgrass. The specific objectives are to: 1) Conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of flowering time in both lowland and upland panels; 2) Validate genes associated with flowering time in segregating populations; and 3) Examine transcriptome profiling with extreme genotypes using RNA sequencing.
