Adopting the method of artificial saturated-inoculation treatment of seeds,6526 landraces of proso millet germplasm resources collected from 14 provinces of China were tested for resistance to dustbrand.Among the samples tested,11 and 574 landraces were highly resistant(HR) and resistant(R) to dustbrand,which make up 0.17% and 8.80% of the total samples in the assesment,respectively.The results of the present study facilitate further research and breeding of dustbrand resistance cultivars in proso millet.
