This book was released on 1997 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant progress has been made in developing highly effective and reliable laboratory/greenhouse and field screening techniques and in using them to identify resistance, and to develop cultivars resistant to downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola). Using these techniques, 4771 accessions of pearl millet, 50 accessions of intermediate weedy forms, and 534 accessions of wild relatives, originating from 40 countries, have been screened in India and/or western Africa, and a large number of resistant sources identified. More than 20 breeding products have been developed and released for cultivation in India and Africa. Similar progress in developing cultivars resistant to rust (Puccinia spp.) has been made. This bulletin describes allthe currently known screening techniques and provides relevant information on important sources of resistance to these two diseases. It is expected to be useful to breeders and pathologists involved in improving pearl millet for genetic resistance to these two important diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downy mildew caused by Sclerospora graminicola is a destructive disease affecting both vegetative and floral parts of the crop, causing huge monetary losses. It is prevalent in many parts of India and several African nations. Biochemical markers provides information of genetic and metabolic factors governing resistance. The content of this book focuses on finding out appropriate biochemical markers useful for screening downy mildew resistance in pearl millet. Different parameters such as isozymes, protein profilling (SDS-PAGE), molecular marker (RAPD), quality parameters, few stress metabolites and histochemical analysis have been analyzed. This book can be of use to the plant biochemists, pathologists, breeders and to the scientific community at large.

Download or read book Identification and Utilization of Ergot Resistance in Pearl Millet written by R. P. Thakur and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ergot (Claviceps fusiformes) is an important disease affecting pear millet (Pennesitum glaucum). Host-plant resistance has been central to the disease management strategies at ICRISAT Center, and accordingly the identification, utilization, and deployment of resistance to ergot has been a major objective of pearl millet improvement research. This bulletin summarizes research work done at ICRISAT since 1977, which has led to the development of an effective field screening technique, based on a proper understanding of pathogen biology and disease epidemiology, and the role of pollination in ergot infection and resistance identification development of ergot resistance source, determination of the stability of resistance, and utilization of some of these sources of resistance to breed agronomically elite ergot-resistance materials, especially hybrid seed parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millets and sorghum are extremely important crops in many developing nations and because of the ability of many of them to thrive in low-moisture situations they represent some exciting opportunities for further development to address the continuing and increasing impact of global temperature increase on the sustainability of the world’s food crops. The main focus of this thorough new book is the potential for crop improvement through new and traditional methods, with the book’s main chapters covering the following crops: sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail milet, proso millet, little millet, barnyard millet, kodo millet, tef and fonio. Further chapters cover pests and diseases, nutritional and industrial importance, novel tools for improvement, and seed systems in millets. Millets and Sorghum provides full and comprehensive coverage of these crucially important crops, their biology, world status and potential for improvement, and is an essential purchase for crop and plant scientists, and food scientists and technologists throughout the developed and developing world. All libraries in universities and research establishment where biological and agricultural sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this important book on their shelves.
