Title Sustainable conservation and utilization of genetic resources of two underutilized crops – finger millet and foxtail millet – to enhance productivity, nutrition and income in Africa and Asia
 
Creator Upadhyaya, H D
 
Subject Millets
 
Description Both finger millet and foxtail millet, unlike other cereals,
have remained neglected from the mainstream of
crop improvement research; however, they are widely
grown in Asia and Africa. In addition to narrow genetic
base, researchers have had limited access to genetically
diverse germplasm with beneficial traits. In both the
crops, representative core collections (10% of entire
collection) are now available, which can be used to
identify new sources of variation. The developments in
marker technology and high throughput assay should
enable us to dissect the population structure and diversity
in these subsets to identify trait-specific genetically
diverse germplasm.
