Abstract

The genetic diversity of a world collection of foxtail millet strains (Setaria italica) and some samples of wild populations (Setaria viridis) was studied by means of electrophoresis on five enzymes (10 loci) Est, Acph, Got, Mdh, Pgd. In spite of an overall limited polymorphism, the diversity appeared to be clearly regionalized. The wild populations collected in France and China introduced new genetic variability to the cultivated forms. However, the interregional diversity within both species was greater than the between species (S. viridis/S. italica) diversity.
