Opis

Downy mildew caused by Sclerospora graminicola is a destructive disease affecting both vegetative and floral parts of the crop, causing huge monetary losses. It is prevalent in many parts of India and several African nations. Biochemical markers provides information of genetic and metabolic factors governing resistance. The content of this book focuses on finding out appropriate biochemical markers useful for screening downy mildew resistance in pearl millet. Different parameters such as isozymes, protein profilling (SDS-PAGE), molecular marker (RAPD), quality parameters, few stress metabolites and histochemical analysis have been analyzed. This book can be of use to the plant biochemists, pathologists, breeders and to the scientific community at large.
