The present study was undertaken to characterize pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] hybrids
and their parents on the basis of morphological descriptors with the objective to identify key diagnostic
characters ...
Identification of SNP and SSR Markers in Finger Millet Using Next Generation Sequencing Technologies
Finger millet is an important cereal crop in eastern Africa and southern India with excellent
grain storage quality and unique ability to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. Since
negligible attention has been paid ...

Combining ability for grain mold resistance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
In all sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) production systems, grain molds can reduce the yield and quality of short duration cultivars if they mature in wet and humid weather. This investigation was taken up to find out ...
Impact of salinity on physiological and biochemical traits in pearl millet
Salinity is one of the most severe environmental factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops in arid and semi-arid reg ions. Accumulation of excess salts in the rhizospheric environment results in disturbed ...
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 ...
