Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is grown by >90 million subsistence farmers, mostly in the drylands of Sub-Saharan Africa and India for human consumption and provides additionally fodder and building material. It is commonly grown in regions with 300 500 mm of precipitation, low soil phosphorus levels, and temperatures of >42°C), like its center of origin in West Africa (WA). Pearl millet is a highly heterozygous, diploid (2n = 2x = 14) C4 plant species with outcrossing rates of >70%. Yield levels increased largely in India and the US, while they almost stagnated in WA. Challenging, highly variable environments and a weak seed sector are largely contributing to these differences. To suggest a way forward this thesis was meant...
