Millet grains have substantial benefits as a draught resistant crop, yield good productivity in the areas with water scarcity, possesses remarkable edible & nutritive values, and ease of processing & food manufacturing. Agriculture & Food security policymakers of developing countries should give due attention in promoting the research work & projects for studying the processing, food manufactur...

Minor millets are examples of underutilized plant species, being locally important but rarely traded internationally with an unexploited economic potential. In the Kolli hills of Tamil Nadu, India, a genetically diverse pool of minor millet varieties are grown by the tribal farming communities to meet their subsistence food needs. Most of these minor crops were not traded outside the farming co...

Pulmonary inflammation, abnormalities in alveolar type II cell and macrophage morphology, and pulmonary fibrosis are features of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS). We used the naturally occurring "pearl" HPS2 mouse model to investigate the mechanisms of lung inflammation observed in HPS. Although baseline bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell counts and differentials were similar in pearl and strain-...

The IUFoST Scientific Roundtable celebrated the International Year of Millets 2023 by convening an international team experts to discuss value millets relative agri-economy, nutrition, bioactives, environmental and our delivery on global development agenda its sustainable goals (SDGs). advanced critical analyses that suggested this semi-arid crop, grown primarily in tropics Asia Africa can be i...

Agriculture is the way of life in rural areas. People use their own lands for growing different crops such as cereals (rice, wheat, maize), millets (pearl millet, finger millet, jowar), pulses (red gram, black gram, bengal gram), oilseeds (groundnut, soybean, linseed, mustard, rapeseed, sunflower, safflower, castor seed), vegetables (tomato, okra, cucurbits, cole crops, brinjal), horticultural ...

Dietary quality should be taken into consideration for maintaining overall maximization of human health and solving the problem of deep rooted food insecurity and malnutrition so millet has good option to overcome it. Millets are small seeded and minor cereals of the grass family (Poaceae) and are characterized by their ability to survive in less fertile soil, resistance to pests and diseases, ...

Millets are important source of food and livelihood in arid semi-arid ecologies covers a significant area these regions due to their strong abiotic biotic stress tolerance, particularly capacity withstand dry conditions. Since, the grains crops have better nutritional qualities compared other cereals, therefore, ensure security vulnerable regions, millets can be good option included as staple f...

A significant correlation between the occurrence of pearl pulsations at College, Alaska, and interplanetary magnetic field sector boundaries has been observed. Pearl pulsation data published by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, and sector data published by Wilcox and Ness have been used to show the following: pearl pulsations are more likely to occur on the day a sector boundary ...

In atoll lagoons of French Polynesia, growth and reproduction of pearl oysters are mainly driven by plankton concentration. However, the actual diet of black-lip pearl oysters Pinctada margaritifera in these lagoons is poorly known. To fill this gap, we used the flow through chamber method to measure clearance rates of P. margaritifera in Ahe atoll lagoon (Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia)...
