Abstract
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glauccum (L.) R. Br.) is an annual, cross
pollinating, monocot crop belonging to the family Poaceae and sub family
Penicedae. It is the sixth most important cereal of the world and has critical value
as food security in some of the world’s hottest and driest cultivated areas of
Africa and Asia. However, the crop faces constraints to the productivity which
includes the prevalence of different biotic and abiotic stresses. The present work
was carried out with an aim to identify and select endogenous genes for
pearlmillet under biotic stress (downy mildew) and abiotic stress (salinity) and
validating constitutively expressed genes in pearlmillet through RT-PCR and
analyzed it through geNorm for best stable reference gene
