Description Combining morphological and molecular data to identify genetic variation and marker–trait association is one of the most important prerequisites for genomics-assisted selection in crop improvement. To this end, a total of 138 finger millet (Eleusine coracana subsp. coracana) accessions including five improved varieties were evaluated to assess the genetic variation and population structure and undertake association mapping. These accessions were basically collected from Ethiopia (96), Eritrea (8), Kenya (7), Zambia (9) and Zimbabwe (13). Finger millet accessions were evaluated in the field for 10 important agronomic traits and also characterised using a set of 20 microsatellite markers. Mean polymorphism information content of 0.61 was observed from a total of 222 alleles with an average of 11.1 alleles per microsatellite locus. About 61% of alleles detected were rare (
