QTL mapping of pearl millet rust resistance using an integrated DArT- and SSR-based linkage map
Rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia
substriata var. indica, is one of the most important
production constraints of pearl millet worldwide,
leading to grain yield losses of up to 76 % as well as
major losses in fodder yield ...
Seedling and adult plant resistance of barley genotypes to stripe rust pathogen (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei)
The incidence of stripe rust may be very serious in susceptible varieties and result in heavy yield losses.Both minor and major genes are known to provide stripe rust resistance in barley. Finding and characterising such ...
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 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 ...
