Supplemental Table S1. Sorghum genes annotated under the major anthracnose resistance QTL on sorghum chromosome 5. Genes shown are those that lie underneath the QTL interval where the LOD score exceeded the 3.9 LOD significance threshold. Amino acid changes in genes associated with plant disease resistance were detected using resequencing data of parent SC748-5 in comparison to parent BTx623. Arabidopsis orthologs were found using the Rice Genome Annotation Project (www. http://rice.plantbiology.msu.edu).
