Millet pearls are genetically improvised for GUJ released

Vadodara: Nearly one and a half decades – Half after it was first released for cultivation, the popular Millet Hybrid has made a comeback on a better avatar in Gujarat.Christen ‘Maru Sona’ or the Golden Desert, this new version is equipped with genes to fend off Oldew (DM) that is awesome.
This has been released for cultivation in Gujarat.
Dr.
Rakesh Srivastava from the center of excellence in the Genomics and Systems Biology (CEGSB) at the International Plant Research Institute based in Hyderabad from Tropical Semi-Arid (ICRISAT) took assignments to increase the age of this popular hybrid.
Icrisat hand in hand with Dr.
K d Mungra at the Millet Research Station in Jamnagar under the Junagadh Agricultural Research Program (JAU) and Icar-All India was coordinated at Pearl Millet.
“Maru Sona is the first Gujarat Hybrid cultivar developed through breeding that is assisted by genomics,” Srivastava, the main scientist in Icrisat, told TII.
Original Hybrid – GHB 538 – First released for cultivation in 2006-07 during the rainy season, post-rain and summer in the dry area of ​​Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana.
Quickly became popular.
But like all single cross hybrids overcome by DM within five years of release, GHB 538 also began showing signs of vulnerability, guaranteeing the need for DNA repairs) from three linkage groups (LGS) to make Maru Sona.
“In this era spend sequencing costs, high-precision phenotypes platforms, large data, engine learning and AI, genomics of translation are one of the most powerful tools for breeding climate-smart generation cultivars,” Srivastava said.
“Genomic-assisted breeding is a way to go for the development of pearl millet cultivars for the benefit of poor farmers,” said Dr.
Mungra, a research scientist at Jau-Jamnagar.
“We look forward to more collaboration in a billion millet and other ICRISAT mandate plants,” said Chancellor Jau Dr.
Narendra Gontia.
“With climate change of threatening yields, we need to use all existing resources to increase plants,” said Dr.
Arvind Kumar, Deputy Director General of ICrisat.
