"Pearl millet populations characterized by Fusarium prevalence, morphological traits, phenolic content, and antioxidant potential"^^ . "Background: Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) has become increasingly attractive due to its health benefits. It is grown as\r\nfood for human consumption and fodder for livestock in Africa and Asia. This study focused on five pearl millet populations\r\nfrom different agro-ecological zones from Tunisia, and on characterization by morphological traits, total phenolic and flavonoid\r\ncontent, antioxidant activity, and occurrence of Fusarium.\r\nResults: Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences between populations for the quantitative traits. The highest\r\ngrain weights occurred in the pearlmillet cultivated in Zaafrana and Gergis of Tunisia. Early flowering and earlymaturing populations\r\ncultivated in the center (Zaafrana, Rejiche) and south (Gergis) of Tunisia tended to have a higher grain yield. The Zaafrana\r\npopulation showed the highest value of green fodder potentiel (number andweight of leaves/cultivar and theweight of tillers and\r\ntotal plant/cultivar) followed by Gergis and Rejiche. The Kelibia population showed the highest total phenolic and flavonoid content.\r\nRejiche exhibited the greatest antioxidant activity. Trans-cinnamic, protocatechuic, and hydroxybenzoic acids were the\r\nmajor phenolic compounds in all the extracts. Three Fusarium species were identified in Tunisian pearl millet populations based\r\non morphologic and molecular characterization. Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum occurred most frequently. The\r\naverage incidence of the three Fusarium species was relatively low (<5%) in all populations. The lowest infection rate (0.1%)\r\nwas recorded in the samples from Zaafrana.\r\nConclusion: Chemometric analysis confirmed the usefulness of the above traits for discrimination of pearl millet populations,\r\nwhere a considerable variation according to geographical origin and bioclimatic conditions was observed.\r\n© 2020 Society of Chemical Industry"^^ .
