Title	Selection of downy mildew resistant somaclones, from a susceptible B line of pearl millet
Journal	Plant Cell
Year	2000
Volume	58
Pages	159-162
Author	Umesha S Nagarathna KC Shetty SA Shetty HS
Abstract	Summary: Plants regenerated from seed-derived callus of a PNMS 6B line of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) were evaluated for their resistance induced by somaclonal variation for downy mildew disease caused by Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroter. Among the 201 lines regenerated, only 3 lines consistently proved highly resistant (free from disease incidence) for up to 5 generations; whereas, 17 lines were resistant (disease by incidence ranging from 1 to 9%). Resistance was confirmed by testing the plants under both laboratory and field conditions. The plants were evaluated for their agronomic traits
