Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: A genetic linkage map representing the pearl millet genome was constructed with SNP markers. Major and stable QTL associated with flowering, number of productive tillers, ear head length, and test weight were mapped on chromosomes 1 and 3. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a major cereal and fodder crop in arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. Agronomic traits are important traits in...
