Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Sushil Kumar,Sushil Kumar,Sushil Kumar,Charles Thomas Hash,Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu,Govind Singh,Vengaldas Rajaram,Abhishek Rathore,Senthilvel Senapathy,Mahesh D. Mahendrakar,Rattan Yadav,Rakesh K. Srivastava +11 more
TL;DR: Genetic variation among adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it will be possible to improve grain micronutrient concentrations by selective breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping Grain Iron and Zinc Content Quantitative Trait Loci in an Iniadi-Derived Immortal Population of Pearl Millet
Sushil Kumar,Charles Tom Hash,T. Nepolean,Mahesh D. Mahendrakar,Chellapilla Tara Satyavathi,Govind Singh,Abhishek Rathore,Rattan Yadav,Rajeev Gupta,Rakesh K. Srivastava +9 more
TL;DR: The reported large-effect iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) content quantitative trait loci (QTLs) may be useful in marker-assisted selection (MAS) programs, in genomic selection (GS) breeding pipelines for seed and restorer parents, and in population improvement programs for pearl millet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards Defining Heterotic Gene Pools in Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.].
A. Radhika Ramya,A. Radhika Ramya,Lal Ahamed M,C. Tara Satyavathi,Abhishek Rathore,P Katiyar,A. G. Bhasker Raj,Sushil Kumar,Rajeev Gupta,Mahesh D. Mahendrakar,Rattan Yadav,Rakesh K. Srivastava +11 more
TL;DR: F1s generated from crosses between representatives of groups B10R5, B2R4, and B9R9 had high specific combining ability for grain yield compared to rest of the crosses, suggesting these groups may represent putative heterotic gene pools in pearl millet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping QTLs Controlling Flowering Time and Important Agronomic Traits in Pearl Millet.
Sushil Kumar,Sushil Kumar,Sushil Kumar,C. Tom Hash,T. Nepolean,C. Tara Satyavathi,Govind Singh,Mahesh D. Mahendrakar,Rattan Yadav,Rakesh K. Srivastava +9 more
TL;DR: The mapped QTLs for flowering time and other agronomic traits in present experiment can be used for marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) breeding programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variability, genotype × environment interaction and correlation analysis for grain iron and zinc contents in recombinant inbred line population of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L). R.
Mahesh D. Mahendrakar,Sushil Kumar,Ram Baran Singh,Abhishek Rathore,Gopi . Potupureddi,P. B. KaviKishor,Rajeev Gupta,Rakesh K. Srivastava +7 more
TL;DR: The value of correlation coefficient (0.9) was found to be highly significant at P 0.01 level, that indicated good opportunities for simultaneous genetic improvement of both iron and zinc contents in pearl millet.
