Genetic diversity and population differentiation of traditional fonio millet Digitaria spp. landraces from different agro-ecological zones of West Africa

Abstract
Fonio millets Digitaria exilis Stapf, D. iburua Stapf are valuable
indigenous staple food crops in West Africa. In order to investigate
the genetic diversity and population differentiation in these millets,
a total of 122 accessions from five countries Benin, Burkina Faso,
Guinea, Mali and Togo were analysed by Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphisms AFLPs. Genetic distance-based UPGMA clustering and
principal coordinate analysis revealed a clear-cut differentiation
between the two species and a clustering of D. exilis accessions in
three major genetic groups fitting to their geographical origins.
