Mapping rice-fallow cropland areas for shortseason grain legumes intensification in South Asia using MODIS 250 m time-series data
The goal of this study was to map rainfed and irrigated rice-fallow cropland
areas across South Asia, using MODIS 250 m time-series data and identify
where the farming system may be intensified by the inclusion of a ...
Identification of QTLs and underlying candidate genes controlling grain Fe and Zn concentration in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L). Moench]
Biofortification is one of sustainable options for combating micronutrientmalnutrition.
For identifying genomic regions associated with
grain Fe and Zn in sorghum, RIL population (342 individuals) from cross 296B × PVK 801 ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Characterization of potential probiotic bacteria isolated from sorghum and pearl millet of the semi-arid tropics
The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize probiotic properties of bacteria isolated
from flour and batter samples of sorghum and pearl millet. A total of five different selective media
including plate ...
Downy Mildew of Pearl Millet and its Management
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) is the third most important rainfed cereal crop of India grown over 9 million hectares with
an annual production of 9.5 million tonnes (Yadav and Rai, 2013). Globally, it is ...
Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
Components of resistance to sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata
Sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is
one of the major constraints in sorghum production,
and host plant resistance is one of the components to
control sorghum shoot fly. Thirty sorghum genotypes
were evaluated for ...
Experimental Designs for Alley Cropping to Estimate Shrub × Grass Interaction
Presents a series of experimental designs to estimate shrub x grass interactions and illustrates the data analysis using a simulated dataset.
Crops that feed the world 11. Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.): an important source of food security, nutrition and health in the arid and semi-arid tropics
Pearl millet is a major cereal in the arid and semiarid
regions of Asia and Africa. It is primarily cultivated for
grain production, but its stover is also valued as dry fodder.
Pearl millet is resilient to climate change ...
