Subject Pearl Millet
 
Description Pearl millet is a commonly grown nutri-cereals in the semi-arid regions of India and Africa.
Productivity of this crop is challenged by many biotic stress and blast (Pyricularia grisea)
has emerged as a new threat. Recurrent chemical protection is expensive and not sustainable
approach for farmers. Therefore, identification and utilization of host plant resistance is very
appropriate. Present study screened 20 inbreds crude proteins for anti-fungal activity against
blast isolates collected from Patancheru (Pg45), Jaipur (Pg138) and Aurangabad (Pg186)
using oatmeal agar plates (qualitative) and microspectrophotometric assays (quantitative).
There was significant reduction in growth rate of fungal colony of highly virulent isolate Pg
138 (9-57%; P
