constraint causes Downy mildew. The pathogen is heterothallic and frequent recombination&#13;
leads to evolution of new virulent populations. Identification of resistance to new virulent isolates&#13;
is a prerequisite for resistance breeding. A very good understanding of ability to manipulate&#13;
oligogenic and quantitative traits is offered to plant breeders by recent advances in genetic&#13;
marker technology. In the present investigation, Genotypic data generated for a total of 39&#13;
marker loci (SSRs) were used to construct a linkage map of the pearl millet mapping population&#13;
of 295 Recombinant Inbred Population based on the cross 81B-P13 × AIMP 92901-deriv-P03.A&#13;
skeleton linkage map of seven linkage groups with a total map length of 536.8cMwasconstructed&#13;
using Map Maker/Exp version 3.0b at LOD threshold value of 3.0 and map was drawn using&#13;
Map Chart 2.2. Among all the linkage groups of the present study, linkage group1 has the&#13;
highest map length (146.6 cM) followed by linkage group 2 (98.3 cM). The linkage group&#13;
3 (6.6 cM) has been recorded as the shortest among all seven linkage pearl millet groups&#13;
in this study.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Pearl Millet</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Genetics and Genomics</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>
