Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Pearl Millet Hybrids

摘要

Genetic vulnerability of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) has increased since the cultivation of hybrid cultivars. Genetic diversity usually decreases genetic vulnerability. About 10 public hybrids are under cultivation in India. Of these; HHB 50, HHB 60, HHB 67, and ICMH 451 are productive and desirable hybrids released by the public sector. In addition, Pioneer 7601, Pioneer 7701, HLBH 10, and MBH 110 are sold by private companies as commercial cultivars.
