  abstract = {{P}earl millet is among the top three-cereal production in one of the most climate vulnerable regions, sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {I}ts {S}ahelian origin makes it adapted to grow in poor sandy soils under low soil water regimes. {P}earl millet is thus considered today as one of the most interesting crops to face the global warming. {F}lowering time, a trait highly correlated with latitude, is one of the key traits that could be modulated to face future global changes. {W}est {A}frican pearl millet landraces, can be grouped into early- ({EF}) and late-flowering ({LF}) varieties, each flowering group playing a specific role in the functioning and resilience of {S}ahelian smallholders. {T}he aim of this study was thus to detect genes linked to flowering but also linked to relevant traits within each flowering group. {W}e thus investigated genomic and phenotypic diversity in 109 pearl millet landrace accessions, i.e., 66 early-flowering and 43 late-flowering, grown in the groundnut basin, the first area of rainfed agriculture in {S}enegal dominated by dry cereals (millet, maize, and sorghum) and legumes (groundnuts, cowpeas). {W}e were able to confirm the role of {P}hy{C} gene in pearl millet flowering and identify several other genes that appear to be as much as important, such as {FSR}12 and {HAC}1. {HAC}1 and two other genes appear to be part of {QTL}s previously identified and deserve further investigation. {A}t the same time, we were able to highlight a several genes and variants that could contribute to the improvement of pearl millet yield, especially since their impact was demonstrated across flowering cycles.},
