Dhivya A B, Subashini S, Chandrababu R, Ramalingam J . Establishment of MilletDB: TNAU Released Millet Varieties with their Morphological Traits. International Journal of Computer Applications. 111, 14 ( February 2015), 24-26. DOI=10.5120/19606-1471
Millets are annual grasses and grow well under the marginal conditions of soil fertility and moisture, which provide staple food for millions of people. Millets have strong, deep rooting systems and short life cycles. Breeding research in millets, habitually engages different species, cultivars, and varieties. This makes an immense challenge to maintain the different varieties and their identification characters. On account of this fact, the MilletDB clearly brings out the variations of different morphological traits of the TNAU released millet varieties and germplasm information about the pearl millet. MilletDB is an Internet-accessible database, which is designed by using the front-end language PHP and back-end as MySQL and is equipped with extensive search options. It is a user-friendly database and made publicly available, to improve the research and development of millet crops by making the wealth of available millet varieties.
