Abstract: To analyze the phenotypic diversity of local foxtail millet in Shanxi, 5627 accessions of local foxtail millet are used as materials, 17 quantitative and qualitative characters recorded in Catalogue of Chinese Millet Varieties, Catalogue of Chinese Millet Genetic Resources and Catalogue of Chinese Millet and Its Millet Crop Varieties, are used as basic data, and the genetic diversity is evaluated. The results show that Shanxi foxtail millet resources are mainly distributed in Datong, Xinzhou, Lvliang, Jinzhong and Changzhi, and which account for 75.7% of the total resources in Shanxi Province. 90% of the foxtail millet resources are Japonica, and the genetic diversity in Yuncheng and Jincheng is the maximum. Shanxi foxtail millet resources have abundant seedling color, panicle type and grain color type, and represent the basic types of China foxtail millet resources. Shanxi foxtail millet germplasm resources have abundant genetic diversity, types and excellent resource, and can provide the material foundation for foxtail millet germplasm innovation and molecular biology research.
