Research Project:
INTROGRESSING RESISTANCE TO STRIGA HERMONTHICA FROM WILD TO CULTIVATED PEARL MILLET
Location: Crop Genetics and Breeding Research
Project Number: 6602-21000-020-02
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Jan 01, 2007
End Date: Dec 31, 2008
Objective:
The objective of this research is to advance a mapping population of pearl millet by assessing striga-resistant and striga-susceptible pearl millets for genetic polymorphism.
Approach:
Selections from pearl millet variety CIVT and wild accessions PS202, PS637, PS639 and PS727 will be assessed for striga resistance in Sadore, Niger. DNA will be extracted and assessed for polymorphisms by USDA-ARS in Tifton, Georgia.
