Abstract
Finger millet, Eleusine cocorana, is an important crop in East Africa. Molecular map of the 36 chromosome tetraploid genome are being constructed to provide a basis for molecular breeding of the crop. Also the maps will enable investigation of the evolution of the crop, the relationship of the finger millet genome with that of other major cereals and the genetic control of key traits including resistance to blast, Pyricularia grisea.
