Breeding resilient cultivars with increased tolerance to environmental stress and enhanced resistance to pests and diseases demands pre-breeding efforts that include understanding genetic diversity. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of 265 pea accessions. The diversity arrays technology (DArT) genotyping method was employed to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and silico markers.

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used in this study to obtain valuable genomic resources and identify genes differentially expressed between Al-tolerant and Al-susceptible genotypes. Two groups of finger millet genotypes were used: Al-tolerant (215836, 215845, and 229722) and Al-susceptible (212462, 215804 and 238323).

- - Finger millet is a self-pollinating crop grown primarily by small-scale farmers and requires minimal resources for cultivation; assessing its genetic diversity is crucial for breeding programs.
- - Researchers developed 13 new DNA markers and used 10 to evaluate the genetic diversity in 55 landrace accessions and 5 cultivars from Ethiopia, finding a total of 26 alleles with an average of 5.6 alleles per locus.
- - The study found limited variation in genetic diversity among accessions and regions, indicating strong gene flow that diminishes the correlation between genetic makeup and geographic origin.
