Millets and sorghum are extremely important crops in many developing nations and because of the ability of many of them to thrive in low-moisture situations they represent some exciting opportunities for further development to address the continuing and increasing impact of global temperature increase on the sustainability of the world’s food crops. The main focus of this thorough new book is the potential for crop improvement through new and traditional methods, with the book’s main chapters covering the following crops: sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail milet, proso millet, little millet, barnyard millet, kodo millet, tef and fonio. Further chapters cover pests and diseases, nutritional and industrial importance, novel tools for improvement, and seed systems in millets. Millets and Sorghum provides full and comprehensive coverage of these crucially important crops, their biology, world status and potential for improvement, and is an essential purchase for crop and plant scientists, and food scientists and technologists throughout the developed and developing world. All libraries in universities and research establishment where biological and agricultural sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this important book on their shelves.

Significant progress has been made in developing highly effective and reliable laboratory/greenhouse and field screening techniques and in using them to identify resistance, and to develop cultivars resistant to downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola). Using these techniques, 4771 accessions of pearl millet, 50 accessions of intermediate weedy forms, and 534 accessions of wild relatives, originating from 40 countries, have been screened in India and/or western Africa, and a large number of resistant sources identified. More than 20 breeding products have been developed and released for cultivation in India and Africa. Similar progress in developing cultivars resistant to rust (Puccinia spp.) has been made. This bulletin describes allthe currently known screening techniques and provides relevant information on important sources of resistance to these two diseases. It is expected to be useful to breeders and pathologists involved in improving pearl millet for genetic resistance to these two important diseases.
