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 ...
Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of a heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) from Pennisetum glaucum (L.), a C4 cereal plant from the semi-arid tropics
Heat shock proteins (Hsp10) belong to the
ubiquitous family of heat-shock molecular chaperones
found in the organelles of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Chaperonins assist the folding of nascent and stressdestabilized
proteins. ...
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 ...
Crops that feed the world 11. Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.): an important source of food security, nutrition and health in the arid and semi-arid tropics
Pearl millet is a major cereal in the arid and semiarid
regions of Asia and Africa. It is primarily cultivated for
grain production, but its stover is also valued as dry fodder.
Pearl millet is resilient to climate change ...
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 ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
Tester Effect on Combining Ability and Its Relationship with Line Performance per se for Grain Iron and Zinc Densities in Pearl Millet
Development of inbred lines with high general combining ability (GCA) is an important aspect of hybrid breeding research. Although broad-based open-pollinated populations (varieties and composites) are widely used to assess ...
Breeding Biofortified Pearl Millet Cultivars with high iron density
Harvest Plus Biofortification Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGJAR) has initiated the
development and dissemination of improved crop. Cultivars with elevated levels of these ...
Assessment of Diversity in Commercial Hybrids of Pearl Millet in India
Availability of diverse cultivars is essential in order to meet necessity of regional adaptation to various climatic conditions and to fulfil the farmers’ need of differential preference of various phenotypic traits in ...
