Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a climate‐resilient cereal crop widely grown
in arid and semiarid environments and an important crop for food, fodder, and nutritional …

The crop cultivars targeted for drought prone areas need to combine drought tolerance and
high yield. The present study was conducted to assess the performance of three selected …

Crop landraces are considered as a good germplasm source for adaptation to prevalent
stress conditions. In this study, 105 landraces of pearl millet (P. glaucum) were evaluated …

Information on genetic diversity and population structure is helpful to strategize enhancing
the genetic base of hybrid parental lines in breeding programs. The present study …

Pearl millet is a widely grown, climate resilient rainfed cereal crop cultivated on 29 million ha
in the arid and semi-arid tropical regions of Asia and Africa accounting for almost half of …

Drought is the primary constraint in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) production in the drier
semi-arid and arid regions of south Asia and Africa. The traditional landraces from drier …

As pearl millet is grown principally for food grain in drier areas where rainfall is relatively low
and erratic in distribution, breeding for drought tolerance is the integral part in pearl millet …

Stable, drought-tolerant, and high-yielding dual-purpose hybrids are needed for cultivation
in the drought-prone areas of India. Working towards this, this study was conducted to …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a subtropical grain and forage crop. It is
privileged with several desirable forage attributes. Nevertheless, research on pearl millet is …

APSTRACT Selection of drought adapted ecotypes having efficient use of water is the most
important goal in breeding programs for drought stress environments. In this study, three …
