Project Details
Description
Dissecting and accessing useful genetic variations for Iron and Zinc content in pearl millet using genome wide association studies. This project involves the use of whole genome sequencing to survey for SNPs that occur more frequently in 230 genotypes of pearl millet with increased zinc and iron content. The purpose of this is to pinpoint the genes associated with this trait.
