Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Nuclear rRNA genes showed polymorphisms, mostly in the nontranscribed spacer.
- Association Most rRNA variants occurred in wild accessions, while cultivated accessions were highly uniform.
- Observation Adh 1 sequences had substantial sequence diversity.
- Association Adh 1 diversity did not differ markedly between wild and cultivated types.
- Observation The observed variant distribution did not allow a precise domestication pattern to be identified.
- Recommendation The authors call for empirical tests of genetic diversity levels across molecular markers.
- Recommendation The authors call for further germplasm exploration, especially in the eastern Sahel.
