level of tolerance to drought and heat, amongst domesticated cereals.
Consequently, it is grown on more than 26 million hectors in arid and
semi arid regions of Africa and India.
An experimental material, comprising 25 elite pearl millet
genotypes was used for molecular analysis. The selected 25 genotypes
were grown and selfed at Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural
