Genome-wide association analyses of agronomic traits and Striga hermonthica resistance in pearl millet by Rouamba, Armel, Shimelis Hussien, Drabo, Inoussa, Mrema, Emmanuel, Ojiewo, Christopher Ochieng, Mwadzingeni, Learnmore, Rathore, Abhishek

“…The low productivity of pearl millet is mainly attributable to a lack of improved varieties, Striga hermonthica [Sh] infestation, downy mildew infection, and recurrent heat and drought stress. Developing high-yielding and Striga-resistant pearl millet varieties that satisfy the farmers’ and market needs requires the identification of yield-promoting genes linked to economic traits to facilitate marker-assisted selection and gene pyramiding. …”
