Biochemical genetic basis of downy mildew resistance in pearl millet

Abstract: The study of phenolic content and activities of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase in relation to the degree of downy mildew infection of 12 pearl millet cultivars revealed that these were linearly related to the degree of resistance at both the 30 and 50 day growth stages. Useful electrophoretic differences in peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase were also observed with respect to the expression of resistance.

“…The presence of this unique band (C9) suggested its possible involvement in disease resistance mechanism. The results are In accordance with the earlier studies conducted by ASADA et al (1976) on radish dow-ny mildew and THUKRAL et al (1986) on pearl millet downy mildew, where the presence of an extra cathodal band in resistant plants has been reported. The presence of this band in disease free plants ol susceptible lines also supported its implication in imparting resistance to downy mildew in pearl millet.…”
