Phosphorus (P) is a vital nutrient for plant growth and development, and is absorbed in cells with the help of membrane-spanning inorganic phosphate transporter (Pht) protein. Symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) also helps in transporting P from the soil to plant and Pht proteins play an important role in it. To understand this phenomenon in Finger Mille plant, we have cloned four Pht gen...

Purpose: To enhance the in vitro synthesis of short chain fatty acids through millet dietary fibre fermentation by human faecal probiotic bacteria. Methods: The effect of millet dietary fibre fermentation on production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) by four probiotics was studied. Dietary fibre was extracted from two millet varieties viz Pearl millet, Pennisetum glaucum (PM) and Foxtail mill...

Different agricultural residues were considered in this study for their ability to support cellulolytic enzyme production by Aspergillus niger. A total of eleven agricultural residues including finger millet hulls, sorghum hulls, soybean hulls, groundnut husk, banana peels, corn stalk, cassava peels, sugarcane bagasse, saw dust, rice straw and sheanut cake were subjected to three pretreatment (...

The knowledge of floral structure, biology and pollination behavior are pre-requisite for understanding the system its manipulation developing a proper crossing in which is largely lacking small millets. variability structure was studied various finger millet genotypes. inflorescence consisted cluster variable number spikes called fingers. Each has two opposite rows spikelets. A spiklete contai...

Finger millet is extensively cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa known to save lives small income farmers from starvation at times extreme drought. Therefore, this field experiment was carried out study integrated effect vermicompost inorganic fertilizer blended NPSB with urea on yield components finger millet. Treatments consisted four levels (25, 50, 75, 100%) three ...

Sustainable agricultural practices supporting food diversification and value addition of underutilized crops can support global security nutrition. Rediscovered ancient seed grains flours (barnyard millet, finger little sorghum) are emerging as sustainable alternatives due to high nutritional content climate resilience. The physical functional properties varied significantly (p < 0.05) among in...

Finger millet ( Eleusine coracana Gaertn L.) is an important grain crop for small farmers in many countries. Reliable estimates of parameters, such as growth and nitrogen (N) content, through remote sensing techniques can improve in-season management finger millet. This study investigated the relationships hyperspectral reflectance with canopy height, green cover, leaf area index (LAI), N conce...

The review aims to discuss about the Finger millet which has numerous health promoting properties. Eleusine coracana is a major crop of Poaceae family and great source various types macronutrients micronutrients. written by taking references from number research articles. These articles have been collected different databases. nutrient content finger makes it healthy functional food generally e...

Minor millets comprise a group of cereal species that are genetically diverse and adapted to a range of marginal growing conditions where major cereals such as wheat, rice, and maize are relatively unsuccessful. Millets require few inputs and withstand severe biotic and abiotic stresses. They are also more nutritious than major cereals. Despite these advantages, neglect in several arenas has re...
