Abstract

One of ICRISAT's major objectibes is to act as a world repository \nfor the genetic resources of its mandate crops namely, sorghum (Sorglrnnr \nbicolor). pearl millet (Ptlnnisetum americani~r~lp)i,g eon pea (Cajmirs cuja~z), \nchickpea (Cicvr arirtittfrnl), and groundnut (..lrachis hjyogarn). The \nInstitute also collects and conserves the germplasm of six minor millets : \n1. finger millet (Elcusitzc coracana). 2. foxtail millet (Sctaria itulicn). 3. \nproso millet (Pot~icz/!)zn ?iliac.elcn~4).~ little millet (Panicum sirrrratre~sc), \n5. barnyard millet (EcI~inockloac nr.rgalli). and 6. kodo millet (Pa.~olrrr~r \nscrobinilutrrr~~).
