Abstract
Disclosed herein is a unique molecular marker in sorghum genome for conferring broad range fungal resistance trait, and the use of the molecular marker to manipulate resistance in sorghum. A disease resistance gene called ANTHRACNOSE RESISTANCE GENE 1 (ARG1) and a negative regulator, i.e. antisense transcripts of ARG1, called CARRIER OF ARG (CARG) for the fungi resistance gene are knocked out within a quantitative trait locus (QTL).
