Evaluation of designated hybrid seed parents of pearl millet for blast resistance
One hundred sixty designated B-lines (maintainers of male sterile lines) of pearl millet were screened for blast
resistance under greenhouse conditions along with a resistant (ICMR 06444) and a susceptible (ICMB 95444)
check ...
Past and present dynamics of sorghum and pearl millet diversity in Mount Kenya region
Crop populations in smallholder farming systems are shaped by the interaction of biological,
ecological, and social processes, occurring on different spatiotemporal scales.
Understanding these dynamics is fundamental for ...
Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...
Genetic enhancement for flowering period heat tolerance in peart millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. (R.) Br.)
Pearl millet, basically a rainfed crop worldwide, is increasingly being cultivated in summer season in north western parts of India where air temperatures during flowering time often exceed 42 degree Celsius.
Combining ability patterns among West African pearl millet landracesand prospects for pearl millet hybrid breeding
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important hybrid crop in India. However, to date limitedpearl millet hybrid development has been undertaken in West Africa (WA), which is the center of pearlmillet origin ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Characterization of potential probiotic bacteria isolated from sorghum and pearl millet of the semi-arid tropics
The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize probiotic properties of bacteria isolated
from flour and batter samples of sorghum and pearl millet. A total of five different selective media
including plate ...
Downy Mildew of Pearl Millet and its Management
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) is the third most important rainfed cereal crop of India grown over 9 million hectares with
an annual production of 9.5 million tonnes (Yadav and Rai, 2013). Globally, it is ...
Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
Grain iron and zinc densities in released and commercial cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition
arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties ...
