Klappentext zu „Pearl Millet in the 21st Century “
This book documents the global pearl millet research for achieving the sustainable development goals in the eve of International Year of Millets in 2023 by FAO. This book offers perspectives on the recent advances in the field of genomics, next-generation breeding approaches, hybrid development, crop production and protection technologies of pearl millets. Pearl millet is the world's most important millet grown in the hot, semi-arid ecologies of Asia and Africa with versatile end uses. Of all the world's cereals, pearl millet ranks the sixth most important crop after rice, wheat, maize, barley and sorghum. In the changing climatic condition, it can be pitched as strategic crop for food and nutritional security owing to its ability to survive in harsh ecologies and the higher micro-nutrients grain content. This books focuses on nutritional importance, climate resilience, seed systems, value-addition and market policies to enhance the genetic gain of pearl millets under marginal and favorable ecologies, and way forward for a food and nutrition secure world. It is a useful reading material for researchers and professionals working on small grains, millets and their cultivation and nutrition related aspects.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Pearl Millet in the 21st Century “

Autoren-Porträt
Dr. Vilas A. TonapiDr. Vilas A. Tonapi is Former Director of ICAR-Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR), Hyderabad with 35 years of Research, Administrative and Academic experience. He also served as Head, Division of Seed Science and Technology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. His special attainments include Planning and management of crop improvement programs for food and nutrition security, Participatory seed system development, Protection of Plant varieties and IPR management.
His team's dedicated efforts lead to celebration of "National Year of Millets" in 2018-19, notification of "Millets" as "Nutri-cereals", and international year of Millets 2023. He established "Technology Business Incubator" called "Nutrihub", which has created 500+ Millet start-ups. In his tenure IIMR bagged prestigious "Sardar Patel Outstanding ICAR Institution Award 2018", "Chaudhary Devi Lal Outstanding All India Coordinated Research Project Award 2019"and "Kirloskar Vasundhara Mitra Award 2022".
He received RV Swaminathan Gold medal for his Ph.D, and distinguished service award by Seedsmen Association. He has 60 research papers in peer reviewed journals, 30 books, and 75 papers in National and International seminars. He is now working with Advanta Seeds, a UPL- group company

Dr. Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu has played a significant role in national and international crop improvement programs. He has contributed to both basic and strategic research through molecular breeding, quantitative genetics, and genomics approaches. His research has led to the identification of important QTLs and functional genes responsible for biotic and abiotic stress tolerances, nutritional qualities, and yield traits. His work has also facilitated technology development in staple crops through the creation of genetic stocks, mapping populations, RILs, genetic linkage maps, and genome-wide SNPs.
Furthermore, he has demonstrated the proof of concept of linkage disequilibrium-based association mapping and genomic selection models for the first time in national research programs. This research has helped to better understand the genetics of drought tolerance in cereals.
He has also contributed to planning and implementing marker-assisted breeding strategies. His work has led to the development of maize hybrid products that sustain yield in rain-fed ecologies while eliminating the scourge of micronutrient malnutrition.
Dr S K GuptaSK Gupta, Principal Scientist, heads pearl millet breeding research at ICRISAT-India. Since 2008, his focus has been on developing hybrid parents (both seed and restorer parents) of pearl millet with high productivity, rich in nutrition, and along with abiotic and biotic stress tolerances. He coordinated breeding activities of the South-Asian and African pearl milletbreeding programs in different projects. He collaborated with several Central Asian countries to identify pearl millet cultivars suitable for salinity affected areas. While partnering with multiple ARIs, he coordinated the standardization of genomic selection model for pearl millet, identified mechanisms of flowering period heat tolerance in pearl millet, development of heterotic pools and the development of high biomass pearl millet for forage and 2G biofuels. He coordinates with about 30 International and regional seed companies to enhance productivity of pearl millet in different ecologies. He has won several research awards, mentored several PhD scholars, and published about 120 research papers.
