description: In order to deal with world collect~ono f pearl m~lleta nd its elTectivc otiliz~tion,1 11s  estahlisliment of a core collection is one ofthe ideal appn~nche. I:urthcr, an assessnicnt 111'  genetic diversity based on morpho-agronomic cliaracrers only m~ght be biased hccause  distinct niorphotypes can result from a few mutations and share a comnion genetic  background. Therefore, molecular markers are essential for explaining whether existing  genetic variability, assessed by measuring morpl~o-agronomic characters, is related to  genetic diversity. This may be assessed by measuring allelic frequencies using molecular  markers. Thus, the present study was undertaken with an objective to establish a pearl  millet core collection that represents a complete range of genetic diversity of the world  collection and to achieve the following objectives:  To compare multivariate vs. hierarchical classification for determining core  collections that maximizes diversity.  To evaluate the adequacy of mean characterization data to determine core  collection and do diversity assessment in a cross-pollinated crop.  To determine the extent of diversity within and between accessions of  established core collection using morphological traits and molecular markers.
