  abstract = {{T}he rhizosheath, the layer of soil that adheres strongly to roots, influences water and nutrients acquisition. {P}earl millet is a cereal crop that plays a major role for food security in arid regions of sub-{S}aharan {A}frica and {I}ndia. {W}e previously showed that root-adhering soil mass is a heritable trait in pearl millet and that it correlates with changes in rhizosphere microbiota structure and functions. {H}ere, we studied the correlation between root-adhering soil mass and root hair development, root architecture, and symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and we analysed the genetic control of this trait using genome wide association ({GWAS}) combined with bulk segregant analysis and gene expression studies. {R}oot-adhering soil mass was weakly correlated only to root hairs traits in pearl millet. {T}welve {QTL}s for rhizosheath formation were identified by {GWAS}. {B}ulk segregant analysis on a biparental population validated five of these {QTL}s. {C}ombining genetics with a comparison of global gene expression in the root tip of contrasted inbred lines revealed candidate genes that might control rhizosheath formation in pearl millet. {O}ur study indicates that rhizosheath formation is under complex genetic control in pearl millet and suggests that it is mainly regulated by root exudation.},
