New Molecular Marker Technologies for Pearl Millet Improvement

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: At a time when most of the world still viewed molecular technology as a luxury, for use only with major staple crops, a DFID-JIC-ICRISAT project anticipated as early as 1991 the application of molecular diagnostics in the breeding of orphan crops for developing countries. The first molecular marker-based genetic linkage map of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] was built with restriction fragment-length polymorphisms (RFLPs), the marker system of choice in the early 1990s (Liu et al. 1994). This map has served as the base for subsequent pearl millet marker-based studies at JIC (Busso et al.
