Agromorphological Characterization Revealed Three Phenotypic Groups in a Region-Wide Germplasm of Fonio (Digitaria exilis (Kippist) Stapf) from West Africa

Agronomy, 2020
Fonio is an ancient orphan cereal, cultivated by resource-poor farmers in arid and semi-arid regions of West Africa, who conserved and used the cereal for nutrition and income generation.

Reconstruction and prediction of the evolutionary dynamics of fonio (Digitaria exilis, Digitaria iburua) : domestication, cultivated diversity and adaptive potential

La diversité des plantes cultivées et des savoirs associés représente une solution précieuse pour le développement de systèmes robustes et résilients face à l’accélération des crises socio-écologiques. En Afrique de l’Ouest, les paysans et paysannes cultivent de nombreuses variétés et espèces traditionnelles, dont deux espèces communément appelées ...

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Fonio (Digitaria exilis (L.) Stapf) [PDF]

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2017
Fonio (Digitaria exilis) is a crop grown in Africa for its excellent culinary and nutritional properties and is a valuable source of income for smallholder farmers. Its improvement has long been neglected by scientists because the crop was one of the lost crops of Africa.

A fast and effective method to distinguish cultivated fonio species: conservation and evaluation perspectives

Genetic Resources
Plant genetic resources characterization is essential for their conservation and their use in both breeding strategies and adaptation to global change. This is all the more important for species often neglected by research such as fonio. Fonio refers to

EST-SSR development for Digitaria exilis and its relatives D. iburua and D. longiflora from transcriptome sequences

, 2019
Digitaria exilis is an important indigenous cereal in West Africa. The first fonio reference transcriptome was released and became a key tool for developing new molecular markers contributing to a better understanding of its genetic diversity. A total of

Nutraceutical Evaluation of Biscuits Formulated From Acha, Chia, and Soycake Flours on Glycemic Control, Lipid Profile, and Histopathological Effects in High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 164-174, June 2026.
Acha–chia–soycake biscuits improved glucose tolerance, lipid profile, insulin levels, and pancreatic integrity in HFD–STZ diabetic rats. ACSB1 and ACSB13 outperformed acarbose, showing potent antihyperglycemic, hypolipidemic, and pancreatic‐protective effects.

Effect of rotation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) with fonio (Digitaria exilis) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum) on Macrophomina phaseolina densities and cowpea yield [PDF]

, 2008
Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot, causes great damage to cowpea in the Sahel. One of the few options to manage the disease is by cropping nonhosts that may reduce the soil inoculum below a damage threshold level.

Short Communication - Photoperiodism in Digitaria exilis (Kipp) Stapf accessions [PDF]

, 2005
Three varieties of Digitaria exilis namely, white mbulus, jakashale and red dapys were grown in planting chamber and the effect of photoperiod on flowering was investigated. The photoperiods were eleven, twelve and thirteen hours.
