"African and Asian origin pearl millet populations: Genetic diversity pattern and its association with yield heterosis"^^ . "Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a staple food crop of arid and\r\nsemi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. Forty-five pearl millet populations of Asian\r\nand African origin were assessed for genetic diversity using 29 simple sequence\r\nrepeat (SSR) markers. The SSR-based clustering and structure analyses showed\r\nthat Asian origin–Asian bred (As-As) and African origin–African bred (Af-Af)\r\npopulations were distributed across seven clusters, indicating no strong relationship\r\namong populations with their geographical origin. Most of the African\r\norigin–Asian bred (Af-As) populations had a higher average number of alleles per\r\nlocus than As-As or Af-Af populations, and the majority of them clustered separately\r\nfrom As-As or Af-Af populations, indicating that introgression of African\r\norigin breeding materials led to the development of new gene pools adapted to\r\nthe Asian region. Fourteen populations representing seven clusters were crossed\r\naccording to a diallel mating design to generate 91 population hybrids (seeds of\r\ndirect and reciprocal crossesweremixed) and evaluated at three locations in 2016.\r\nAll the 91 hybrids when partitioned into three groups based on genetic distance\r\n(GD) between parental combinations (low,moderate, and high), revealed no correlation\r\nbetween GD and panmictic midparent heterosis in any of the groups,\r\nindicating that grain yield heterosis cannot be predicted based on GD. Two population\r\nhybrids (GB 8735 × ICMP 87307 and Sudan I × Ugandi) exhibited high\r\nlevels of yield heterosis over standard checks and can be further utilized using\r\ndifferent breeding schemes to develop high-yielding pearl millet cultivars."^^ .
