Abstract
Finger millet is an important food crop for parts of India and Africa. The main abiotic and biotic constraints to yield are drought and infection by the fungus Pyricularia grisea, respectively. We aim to develop a comparative genetic map of the finger millet genome to establish the relationship of this underresourced crop with those of the major cereals, to develop microsatellite markers for application in marker-assisted breeding, and to map QTL for blast resistance.
