简介
Core Ideas
- Mapping of GBS reads of 398 accessions to the draft genome sequence identified 82,112 SNPs
- Model‐based clustering analysis revealed a hierarchical genetic structure of six subgroups
- Greater LD decay in the west‐African subpopulation is likely due to long history of recombination
- Genetic differentiation analysis among subpopulations revealed variation in selection signatures
Pearl millet [Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone syn. Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is one of the most extensively cultivated cereals in the world, after wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. It is the main component of traditional farming systems and a staple food in the arid and semiarid regions of Africa and southern Asia. However, its genetic improvement is lagging behind other major cereals and the yield is still low …
