on pearl millet single-cross hybrids in India. The present study was undertaken to identify the&#13;
QTL positions controlling DMR on the linkage map for a pearl millet mapping population of 295&#13;
F7 RIL population derived from a single F1 plant from plant × plant cross 81 B-P13&#13;
(susceptible) × AIMP 92901-P03 (resistant) using three isolates of the pathogen from Gujarat,&#13;
Haryana and Rajasthan. A skeleton genetic linkage map of 536.8 cM (Haldane) was constructed&#13;
using MapMaker/Exp version 3.0b at LOD threshold value of 3.0 using 39 scorable polymorphic&#13;
loci. A total of four major DMR QTLs were identified on linkage groups of 1,3 and 4. The&#13;
inheritance of of these QTLs showed AIMP 92901-P03 providing the resistant alleles. At least&#13;
one DMR QTL was detected and mapped for each of the three DM isolates. After validation,&#13;
marker-assisted selection (MAS) can now be used for improving DMR of elite pearl millet hybrid&#13;
parental lines using polymorphic flanking markers from donor parent AIMP 92901-P03.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Pearl Millet</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Genetics and Genomics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Plant Pathology</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2017</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Vital Biotech, India</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
