Tall grass having cattail like spikes; grown in Africa and Asia for its grain and in the United States chiefly for forage; sometimes used in making beer.
Molecular tools have been developed and applied for pearlmillet on a limited scale.
2
We describe with molecular and cytological tools the first MITE family reported in pearlmillet: Tuareg.
3
The Company also offers various category of products, including hybrid maize, hybrid paddy, hybrid pearlmillet, mustard and wheat.
4
Villagers say the reasons for shunning pearlmillet differ around the country, but most stem from long-held cultural beliefs.
5
He said that even when the community was given pearlmillet under food aid programmes, the villagers wouldn't accept it.
6
It was initially detected in the pearlmillet ortholog of Teosinte-branched1, an important developmental gene involved in the domestication of maize.
7
The push includes workshops, meetings with traditional leaders and agricultural extension officers, and field visits to farms where pearlmillet is grown.
8
The Tuareg family may be part of MITEs activated by PIF-like transposases and it could have been mobile since pearlmillet domestication.
9
Here, we report enrichment of the pearlmillet molecular linkage map by exploiting low-cost and high-throughput Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers.
10
The Tuareg family was amplified recently in the pearlmillet genome and elements were found more abundant in wild than in domesticated plants.
11
This array was used to genotype a set of 24 diverse pearlmillet inbreds and 574 polymorphic DArT markers were identified.
