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 ...
