This book provides global information on utilization of plant genetic resources (PGRs) of major millets. It discusses various aspects such as genebank resources, valuation of germplasm, genomics-assisted trait discovery and their utilization for cultivar development. PGRs are the backbone of crop improvement program essential for reaching global food security. Millets are an important crop globally as they provide food security, nutrition, cultural significance, livelihoods, and environmental health security. Its promotion by the enhancement of area under cultivation and varietal development by efficient use of PGRs is the need of the hour. Hence, for sustainable production of millets, efficient use and management of millets' PGRs are equally important.
Traditional methods of PGRs' management are being challenged by the ever-changing needs, priorities, climate, technologies, and policies. To address this issue of sustainable management of PGRs, there is a need to create awareness among the various stakeholders in a scientific manner covering all aspects from conservation to utilization. This book also discusses advances in tools and techniques used for phenotyping, genotyping, and genomic-assisted trait discovery in millet crops.
The target audience for this book are research scholars, scientists and academicians involved in the field of utilization and conservation of PGRs. This book serves as a reference material to postgraduate students studying millet crops.

About the Author
Kuldeep Tripathi is working as a Scientist, at the Division of Germplasm Evaluation, ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi. He has made enormous contributions to Plant Genetic Resources management, including pre-breeding and genetic enhancement of pulses that work seems quite unparalleled. His classic research work at ICAR-NBPGR since 2015 on legumes has brought to his credit 04 Indian pulse core sets developed in lentil, pea, grasspea and cowpea (From entire Indian national genebank collections) as the main developer; 26 legume genetic stocks registered. He has also contributed in development of varieties of mungbean (1), lentil (1) and pillipsera (1) for commercial cultivation. He published >80 research papers in peer-reviewed national and international journals. Besides this, he has also been teaching as Post Graduate School faculty of ICAR-IARI for the last nine years and has contributed to teaching and guiding MSc and PhD students.
Jyoti Kumari, Ph. D. Principal Scientist, ICAR-NBPGR, New Delhi obtained her Master’s and Doctoral degrees from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi in the discipline of Genetics in 2002 and 2005 respectively.
