Genetic Gains in Pearl Millet in India: Insights Into Historic Breeding Strategies and Future Perspective
TLDR
Past strategies and future approaches to accelerate genetic gains to meet future demand are discussed, and development and application of high-throughput genomic tools, speed breeding, and precision phenotyping protocols need to be intensified to exploit a huge wealth of native genetic variation available in pearl millet to accelerate the genetic gains.
Pearl Millet: A Climate-Resilient Nutricereal for Mitigating Hidden Hunger and Provide Nutritional Security
TLDR
Pearl millet is the next-generation crop holding the potential of nutritional richness and the climate resilience and efforts must be targeted to develop nutritionally dense hybrids/varieties tolerant to drought using different omics approaches.
Promoting potato as staple food can reduce the carbon–land–water impacts of crops in China
China has recently implemented a policy to promote potato as a national staple food and to close its large yield gaps with other countries. The carbon–land–water implications of this policy are…

African and Asian origin pearl millet populations: Genetic diversity pattern and its association with yield heterosis
TLDR
The SSR-based clustering and structure analyses showed that Asian origin–Asian bred (As-As) and African origin–African bred (Af-Af) populations were distributed across seven clusters, indicating no strong relationship among populations with their geographical origin.
Genetics of yield, abiotic stress tolerance and biofortification in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research in wheat in the genomics…
Genetic insights in pearl millet breeding in the genomic era: challenges and prospects
TLDR
It is believed that the best path ahead is to adopt genome-based approaches for tailored designing of pearl millet as multi-functional crop with outstanding agronomic traits for various end uses.
Breeding plant type for adaptation to high plant density in tropical maize—A step towards productivity enhancement
Breeding for tolerance to high plant density (HPD) stress resulted in remarkable increase in grain yield per unit area in temperate maize. In spite of improved germplasm and reasonable adoption of…
