Genetic diversity and tests for strict neutrality for the eight STS loci.

aS: number of segregating sites. bSin:number of singletons. cSpecific sites: sites polymorphic in one population but monomorphic in the other. dθ: Watterson estimator of sequence diversity per site, π: average number of differences per site between two sequences. eNumber of lineages with at least one singleton. fD values were calculated using Fabsim [50], P-values of D were calculated for the standard coalescent model (*: p<0.05; ns: not significant); P-values were computed without correction for multiple tests. glinkage group of the pearl millet genetic map on which the locus is located.
