(India) during the two rainy seasons 2007 and 2008 to&#13;
monitor pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) downy mildew&#13;
incidence. Twenty-one isolates of Sclerospora graminicola,&#13;
the pearl millet downy mildew pathogen, were collected&#13;
from different hybrid cultivars. These isolates were established&#13;
on seedlings of the highly susceptible line 7042S&#13;
grown in the greenhouse and were characterized for their&#13;
virulence diversity using a set of seven host differential&#13;
lines. Quantitative differences in virulence among&#13;
pathogen isolates were determined by calculating virulence&#13;
index (percent disease incidence × latent period-1).&#13;
Results were submitted to cluster analysis using the Average&#13;
Linkage method to determine similarity among&#13;
pathogen isolates. The two highly virulent isolates, Sg 492&#13;
from Aligarh and Sg 510 from Badaun, representing geographically&#13;
diverse locations were selected for use in&#13;
greenhouse screening of pearl millet breeding lines.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Millets</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2011</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
