Abstract
A study was undertaken to estimate the relative degree of genetic diversity among lines of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) selected in Central America for BGMV resistance vs. lines that had no selection. Genetic distance (GD) based on the presence or absence of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) bands was estimated among breeding…

Grain iron and zinc densities in released and commercial cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
Abstract
Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) have been released and/or commercialized in India. Eighteen OPVs and 15…
