“…This once again reflects the fact that selection has moderately or even slightly improved the accessions growth in height and in length. This study, therefore, confirms that mass selection is not very effective on these traits (Abreu et al., 2010; Ngandu‐Nyindu, 1981). On agro‐phenological traits, some derivative accessions (AS2‐1, AS7‐1, AS19‐1‐1, AS2‐1‐1, AS2‐2, AS3‐1, AS10‐1 and AS15‐1) showed that heading or maturation cycles have been shortened by 10%–30% compared to their original ones.…”

“…The grains colour has been widely considered as a key criterion for the varietal distinction of fonio (Adoukonou‐Sagbadja et al., 2006; Dansi et al., 2010; Sekloka et al., 2015). This shows once again the fact that mass selection is more effective on major visual traits (Abreu et al., 2010; Ngandu‐Nyindu, 1981), as they are generally known as more heritable traits (Acquaah, 2007). At last, almost all of sorted genotypes for multi‐environment trials exhibited intra‐varietal homogeneity rates greater than 97%.…”
