Download or read book Screening Techniques and Sources of Resistance to Downy Mildew and Rust in Pearl Millet written by S. D. Singh and published by Semi-Arid Tropics. 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.

Download or read book Biotic Stress Resistance in Millets written by I. K. Das and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotic Stress Resistance in Millets presents an important guide to the disease and pest-related challenges of this vital food crop. Biotic stresses are one of the major constraints for millet production, but newly emerging and forward-thinking problems with disease and insect pests are likely to increase as a result of changing weather, making this an imperative book on best practices. Current strategies are mainly through the development of resistant cultivars, as the use of chemicals is cost-prohibitive to many of those producing millet in developing countries where it is of most value as a food source. This book explores non-chemical focused options for improving plant resistance and protecting crop yield. This single-volume reference will be important for researchers, teachers and students in the disciplines of Agricultural Entomology, Plant protection, Resistance Plant Breeding and Biotechnological pest management. Establishes basic concepts of host resistance providing foundational insight Synthesizes past biotic stress resistance research with the latest findings to orient research for future strategies for plant protection Focuses exclusively on host plant resistance on all major diseases and pests of millets Presents data and strategies that are globally applicable as millets gain importance as a health food
Download or read book Advances in Downy Mildew Research written by Peter Spencer-Phillips and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-11-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasis in this second volume of Advances in Downy Mildew Research is on the biology of compatible interactions, forecasting and epidemiology, host specialisation, genetic variability amongst pathogen populations, novel methods for detection and systematics, and induced resistance. Two chapters focus on the related oomycete Albugo candida, which shares many pathogenic characteristics with the downy mildews and provides a valuable comparative pathosystem. Contributions on specific downy mildews include Bremia lactucae, Peronospora destructor, Peronospora sparsa, Peronospora viciae, Plasmopara halstedii, Plasmopara viticola, Pseudoperonospora cubensis and Sclerospora graminicola. Review chapters on compatibility, forecasting and systematics consider a broader range of downy mildew fungi, and compare them with other oomycete and biotrophic pathogens. The book is relevant to anyone with an interest in these unique biotrophic pathogens, either in their own right as causes of damaging diseases or as model systems for research on host-pathogen interactions. It should be read by: students, teachers and researchers in academic and research institutes; research and development personnel in the agrochemical industries; agricultural and horticultural advisers, and other extension workers.

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.

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.
