Morpho-physiological and Molecular Characterization of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] Germplam Lines for Drought Tolerance

Pearl millet response to drought: A review

“…Studies of the effects of drought on pearl millet include genetic analyses of variation in flowering time (Yadav et al, 2004), tillering (Mahalakshmi et al, 1987), grain yield (Bidinger et al, 1987;Yadav et al, 2002;Yadav et al, 2004), biochemical analyses (Choudhary et al, 2021), osmolyte analysis (Kusaka et al, 2005b), proteomic analysis (Ghatak et al, 2016) and gene expression analysis (Choudhary and Padaria, 2015;Dudhate et al, 2018;Jaiswal et al, 2018;Shivhare et al, 2020a;Shivhare et al, 2020b). The application of drought stress varies radically between these studies, from simulating drought using osmotically stressing chemicals to field trials.…”
