De novo transcriptome analysis of finger millet and identification of genes involved in Striga infestation
Background: Finger millet is a highly nutritious annual cereal grass mainly cultivated in the semi-arid tropics of the world. Despite its high yielding potential, finger millet production is mainly affected by Striga ...
Genomic resources for pigeonpea
Pigeonpea is increasingly playing a critical role in the lives of many farmers in the semiarid
tropics, where it is grown for both
subsistence and commercial use. The recent availability of genomic resources opened a new ...
Introgression of striga resistance into popular Sudanese sorghum varieties using marker assisted selection
Witchweed (Strigaspp.) is one of the most important cereals production constraints globally and is projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. It is especially a devastating parasitic weed in Sub-Saharan Africa ...

Genetic and nutritional profiling of finger millet germplasm collection in ESA
Total 400 diverse fingermillet lines were planted for DNA extraction in poly house for DNA extraction at ICRAF-Nairobi. These lines have been characterized at the ICRISAT field research station at Kiboko, Kenya for nutritional ...
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 ...
