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 ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...
Morphological characterization of pearl millet hybrids [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] and their parents
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 ...
Impact Assessment of New Pearl Millet Technology in Arid Rajasthan
This paper has assessed the impact of high-yielding short-duration pearl-millet hybrid on farmers’ income
in the arid region of Rajasthan. The decomposition of total change in net returns has shown that adoption
of modern ...
