Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of a heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) from Pennisetum glaucum (L.), a C4 cereal plant from the semi-arid tropics
Heat shock proteins (Hsp10) belong to the
ubiquitous family of heat-shock molecular chaperones
found in the organelles of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Chaperonins assist the folding of nascent and stressdestabilized
proteins. ...
Variation in drought-tolerance components and their interrelationships in the core collection of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) germplasm
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) is an ancient cereal cultivated worldwide in arid and marginal
lands. It is an ideal crop for the changing climate, with high photosynthetic efficiency. A trait-based selection ...
Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...

Component traits of plant water use are modulated by vapour pressure deficit in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.)
Traits influencing plant water use eventually define the fitness of genotypes for specific rainfall environments.
Weassessed the response of several water use traits to vapour pressure deficit (VPD) in pearl millet (Pennisetum ...

Improvement of pearl millet module in APSIM. Characterization of the main water stress patterns within pearl millet production agroecologies in A1, A, B zone (focus on A1&A)
Since tillering is one of the key environmental adaptive mechanism of sorghum&pearl millet (e.g. vanOosterom et al 1998, Jordan et al 2003, Borrell et al 2015), availability of a dynamic tillering module is a crucial feature ...
Basic research on deciphering the crops water use components (e.g. TE, canopy growth, TR&VPD relation, role of aquaporins etc.)
The relevance of phenotyping pipeline as a support for breeding for water limited environments has been validated through QTL co-localization technique on the example of pearl millet fine-mapping population (simultaneously ...
Characterization of the main abiotic constrains within sorghum production agro-ecologies in Mali (in later stages for Senegal & Burkina Faso).
Qualification& quantification of environmental constrains for common crop ecotypes is a necessary starting point to apply principles of the precision agriculture approach. In this step of work, skills for parameterization ...
Development of GxExM specific, economically most viable options for rabi-sorghum belt agroecologies.
Environmental constrains has been characterized (Kholova et al. 2013, attached) and the lucrative adaptive traits (stay-green) under the current management in given agro-ecologies identified (Kholova et al. 2014). The ...
