        abstract = {Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), an important staple food crop in the semiarid
tropics of the world, is infected by a number of diseases. Important among
these are downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola), blast (Pyricularia grisea),
rust (Puccinia substriata var. indica), ergot (Claviceps fusiformis) and smut
(Moesiziomyces penicillariae) that individually or in combination cause substantial
yield and quality losses. Effective and economic control of these diseases
can be achieved by growing disease resistant varieties and hybrids. In order
to develop disease resistant cultivars, it is important to have effective disease.............
