  abstract = {{P}earl millet ({P}ennisetum glaucum ({L}.) {R}. {B}r.) is a staple food and a drought-tolerant cereal well adapted to {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica agro-ecosystems. {A}n important diversity of pearl millet landraces has been widely conserved by farmers and therefore could help copping with climate changes and contribute to future food security. {H}ence, characterizing its genetic diversity and population structure can contribute to better assist breeding programs for a sustainable agricultural productivity enhancement. {T}oward this goal, a comprehensive panel of 404 accessions were used that correspond to 12 improved varieties, 306 early flowering and 86 late-flowering cultivated landraces from {S}enegal. {T}welve highly polymorphic {SSR} markers were used to study diversity and population structure. {T}wo genes, {P}g{MADS}11 and {P}g{PHYC}, were genotyped to assess their association to flowering phenotypic difference in landraces. {R}esults indicate a large diversity and untapped potential of {S}enegalese pearl millet germplasm as well as a genetic differentiation between early-and late-flowering landraces. {F}urther, a fine-scale genetic difference of {P}g{PHYC} and {P}g{MADS}11 ({SNP} and indel, respectively) and co-variation of their alleles with flowering time were found among landraces. {T}hese findings highlight new genetic insights of pearl millet useful to define heterotic populations for breeding, genomic association panel, or crosses for trait-specific mapping.},
