Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
Breeding Biofortified Pearl Millet Cultivars with high iron density
Harvest Plus Biofortification Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGJAR) has initiated the
development and dissemination of improved crop. Cultivars with elevated levels of these ...
Fermentation of Pretreated High-Biomass Sorghum Hydrolysates to Biohydrogen by Mixed Consortia
In the present study, hydrolysate generated
during pretreatment of high-biomass sorghum as a carbon
source for biohydrogen production was investigated. The
high-biomass sorghum bagasse (HBS) was pretreated using
acid (H2SO4) ...
Capsicum annuum proteinase inhibitor ingestion negatively impacts the growth of sorghum pest Chilo partellus and promotes differential protease expression
Background: Chilo partellus is an important insect pest infesting sorghum and maize. The larvae internalize in
the stem, rendering difficulties in pest management. We investigated the effects of Capsicum annuum
proteinase ...
Cultivation of sweet sorghum on heavy metal contaminated soils by phytoremediation approach for production of bioethanol
The term heavy metal (HM) has a wide range of meanings, and there has been no consistent definition by any authoritative body such
as International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) over the past 60 years. But ...
Genomic Regions Associated with Root Traits under Drought Stress in Tropical Maize (Zea mays L.)
An association mapping panel, named as CIMMYT Asia association mapping (CAAM)
panel, involving 396 diverse tropical maize lines were phenotyped for various structural and
functional traits of roots under drought and ...
Assessment of Diversity in Commercial Hybrids of Pearl Millet in India
Availability of diverse cultivars is essential in order to meet necessity of regional adaptation to various climatic conditions and to fulfil the farmers’ need of differential preference of various phenotypic traits in ...
Role of Heat Shock Proteins in Improving Heat Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
High temperature response (HTR) or heat stress response (HSR) is a highly conserved phenomenon, which involves complex networks
among different crop species. Heat stress usually results in protein dysfunction by improper ...
Dietary Interventions for Type 2 Diabetes: How Millet Comes to Help
Diabetes has become a highly problematic and increasingly prevalent disease worldwide.
It has contributed toward 1.5 million deaths in 2012. Management techniques for
diabetes prevention in high-risk as well as in affected ...
Sorghum: A Multipurpose Bioenergy Crop
Bioethanol and biodiesel produced from renewable energy sources are gaining
importance in light of volatile fossil fuel prices, depleting oil reserves, and increasing
greenhouse effects associated with the use of fossil ...
