Importance of Genetic Diversity Assessment in Crop Plants and Its Recent Advances: An Overview of Its Analytical Perspectives
TL;DR: This paper comprehensively reviews the significance of plant genetic diversity (PGD) and PGR especially on agriculturally important crops; risk associated with narrowing the genetic base of current commercial cultivars and climate change; analysis of existing PGD analytical methods in pregenomic and genomic era; and modern tools available for PGD analysis in postgenomic era.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forming Core Collections in Barnyard, Kodo, and Little Millets using Morphoagronomic Descriptors
TL;DR: Comparisons of means, variances, frequency distribution, diversity indices, and correlations indicated that the variation in the entire collec- tion has been preserved in the core collections, which can be evaluated multilocationally to identify trait-specific diverse germplasm for use in genetic improvement of these crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and genomic resources, and breeding for accelerating improvement of small millets: current status and future interventions

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive insight into the importance of small millets, the global status of their germplasm, diversity, promising germ plasm resources, and breeding approaches (conventional and genomic approaches) to accelerate climate-resilient and nutrient-dense small millet improvement for sustainable agriculture, environment, and healthy food systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population Genetics and Structure of a Global Foxtail Millet Germplasm Collection
Hari D. Upadhyaya,Mani Vetriventhan,Santosh Deshpande,S Sivasubramani,Jason G. Wallace,Edward S. Buckler,C. Tom Hash,Punna Ramu +7 more
TL;DR: Genetic structure analyses revealed that foxtail millet germplasm accessions are structured along both on the basis of races and geographic origin, and the maximum proportion of variation was due to among individuals within populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and trait-specific sources for productivity and nutritional traits in the global proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) germplasm collection
TL;DR: This study provides valuable information to proso millet researchers about agronomic and nutritional traits in accessions that could be tested for regional adaption and yield for direct release as cultivars, and could be used in breeding for developing high grain-yielding and nutrient-rich cultivars.
