Phylogenetics and evolution of <i>Digitaria</i> grasses, including cereal crops fonio, raishan and Polish millet
The knowledge produced in this study about Digitaria crop wild relatives will be useful in improving crop traits through targeted breeding and physiological studies, and we also highlight the need for conservation of seed material through programmes working with local partners for these important climate-tolerant indigenous cereals.
