Abstract excerpt
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), a diploid outcrossing crop widely grown in semiarid tropics, provides a unique extant material for the study of crop-weed interactive evolution. Co-occurrence of a weedy, shattering type of pearl millet with the cultivated one is the rule in the traditional agro-ecosystem in the Sahel zone of Africa. Selfed progeny of weed-type plants invariably segregated into distinct weed and...
