  abstract = {{P}earl millet plays a major role in food security in arid and semi-arid areas of {A}frica and {I}ndia. {H}owever, it lags behind the other cereal crops in terms of genetic improvement. {T}he recent sequencing of its genome opens the way to the use of modern genomic tools for breeding. {O}ur study aimed at identifying genetic components involved in early drought stress tolerance as a first step toward the development of improved pearl millet varieties or hybrids. {A} panel of 188 inbred lines from {W}est {A}frica was phenotyped under early drought stress and well-irrigated conditions. {W}e found a strong impact of drought stress on yield components. {T}his impact was variable between inbred lines. {W}e then performed an association analysis with a total of 392,493 {SNP}s identified using {G}enotyping-by-{S}equencing ({GBS}). {C}orrecting for genetic relatedness, genome wide association study identified {QTL}s for biomass production in early drought stress conditions and for stay-green trait. {I}n particular, genes involved in the sirohaem and wax biosynthesis pathways were found to co-locate with two of these {QTL}s. {O}ur results might contribute to breed pearl millet lines with improved yield under drought stress.},
