Millets are renowned for their climatic resilience and possess high nutritive value with wide genetic variations. In countries like India Africa, millets part of many people's regular diets rich sources protein, dietary fiber, polyphenols, minerals, vitamins, other nutrients. The proteomic signatures several millet species, including Fonio, Finger, Proso, Sorghum, Foxtail millet, were examined ...

Our perspective on microbial diversity has improved enormously over the past few decades. In large part this has been due to molecular phylogenetic studies that objectively relate organisms. Phylogenetic trees based on gene sequences are maps with which to articulate the elusive concept of biodiversity. Thus, comparative analyses of small-subunit rRNA (16S or 18S rRNA) and other gene sequences ...

Novotny et al. (Reports, 25 August 2006, p. 1115) argued that higher herbivore diversity in tropical forests results from greater phylogenetic diversity of host plants, not from higher host specificity. However, if host specificity is related to host abundance, differences in relative host abundance between tropical and temperate regions may limit any general conclusion that herbivore diversity...
