“…Many reports are available for the in vitro culture of millets and different methods of in vitro culture have been reported in millets (reviewed by Kothari et al 2005). Development of in vitro regeneration protocol through somatic embryogenesis seems to be more helpful for the efficient transformation and recovery of transgenic plant (Veluthambi et al 2003).…”

“…Hence with an ultimate aim of supplementing conventional breeding efforts the genetic transformation protocols for millets need to be developed so that important quality traits may be incorporated across the barriers of incompatibility (Gupta et al 2001). Two reviews published on millets describe the widespread role of biotechnology for the improvement of millets in general (Kothari et al 2005) and pearl millet in particular (O'Kennedy et al 2006). The scope of the current review is narrow and specifically describes the recent advances in genetic engineering and transgenic aspects of millets; we review the plasmid, promoter, marker and reporter genes and different methods of gene delivery used for the transformation of millets; we also discuss the future prospects for the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of millets.…”

“…Algunas se manifi estan como mutaciones heredables, generando variaciones somaclonales. Por consiguiente, el cultivo de tejidos es una herramienta útil para el mejoramiento de especies vegetales y se ha utilizado en especies forrajeras nativas (Echenique et al, 2001;Kothari et al, 2005).…”

“…Of all the species Pearl millet and Sorghum in India have total area of 23 -24 million ha and have wide acceptability as food crop, while ragi and other small millets account for about 2.7 million ha area. Their cultivation is extending from sea level in Coastal Andhra Pradesh to 8000 feet above sea level in hills of Uttaranchal and Northeastern states [6]. Despite being a highly nutritive, drought tolerant, water saving crop its production had seen drop after green revolution in favour of cash crops.…”
