Microgreens belong to a class of functional foods with valuable nutritional elements and diverse health benefits when consumed as food supplements. Its consumption has increased sharply due the abundance different health-promoting components than their mature plants. The present study investigated growth conditions profiles six crops (mungbean, lentil, red radish, pearl-millet, mustard, cabbage...

The present study was undertaken to assess the magnitude of heterosis 28 hybrids derived from eight parents pearl millet through diallel mating design excluding reciprocals. Hybrids exhibited low high significant mid parent heterosis, heterobeltiosis, and standard in desired direction for all traits except days flowering as well number effective tillers per plant. hybrid 17548 × 15388 manifeste...

in order to study the effect of uniconazole and cycocle growth regulators on growth, yield and nutrients content of pearl millet in drought stress condition, a field experiment was conducted in 2007-2008 in agriculture research center of zabol university. the experiment was conducted in split plot base on randomized completely block design with tree replications. main plots were different level...

I . Two high-yielding varieties and three hybrids of pearl millet were evaluated for their chemical composition and protein efficiency ratio (PER) for rats at a level of 6.38% dietary protein. PER values ranged from 0.94 to 1.21 and were significantly different. 2. Tryptophan contents of the proteins were above the optimum level of the FA0 reference protein. Lysine content was deficient in all ...

In the present study, a set of six female (lines) and seven restorers (testers) pearl millet were crossed in Line × Tester mating fashion. The newly synthesized hybrids evaluated for yield performance during Summer, 2020. high magnitude SCA variance indicates predominance non-additive gene action all characters. Hence, heterosis breeding method is suggested to exploit this kind action. estimate...
