Finger millet bioactive compounds, bioaccessibility, and potential health effects - a review

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2017
Finger millet is among minor cereal grains that are underutilised. However, over the years, research interest in the millet has increased owing to its abundance of bioactive compounds.

Time course sensor‐based phenotyping can predict Ascochyta blight disease severity in Cicer species

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Ascochyta blight is a widely occurring chickpea fungal disease that can cause severe yield loss. Breeding for crop resistance benefits from high‐throughput evaluation of plant–pathogen interactions in genotypes which can serve as sources of resistance.

Farmers’ Perceptions of Finger Millet Production Constraints, Varietal Preferences and Their Implications to Finger Millet Breeding in Uganda

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2014
Finger millet is an important food security and cash crop in Uganda but its production is constrained by a number of factors. However, information on farmers’ perceptions of constraints and varietal preferences is limited. A study was conducted to; identify varieties and varietal preferences in finger millet, and assess farmers’ constraints to finger ...

MaizeEar‐SAM: Zero‐shot maize ear phenotyping

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Quantifying the variation in yield component traits of maize (Zea mays L.), which collectively determine the overall productivity of this globally significant crop, is critical to plant genetics research, plant breeding, and the development of improved agronomic practices.

flexFitR and exploreHTP: Open‐source software to enable nonlinear modeling of plant growth from remote‐sensing imagery

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract In this study, we introduce two complementary R packages: exploreHTP and flexFitR. exploreHTP is a Shiny‐based graphical interface for extracting plot‐level data from remote‐sensing imagery, while flexFitR provides tools for nonlinear model‐fitting and trait derivation from time series.

Feasibility and pitfalls of combining small subpopulations for genome‐wide association analysis of maize (Zea mays L.) kernel traits

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) typically require large populations to achieve sufficient statistical power; however, maintaining large populations is labor‐intensive and costly. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of improving GWAS detection power by strategically integrating small maize (Zea mays L.) subpopulations for kernel‐

The return of the Bee Sultan: Vibrant encounters of environmentalism and language reclamation in Turkey's Hemshin lands

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract This article examines how language and environment become constitutive through the emergent environmentalism of Hemshin youth returning to Turkey's Hemshin lands from major cities. As development transforms the landscape, young Hemshins engage in “reading” their lands, encountering linguistic and material traces like stories, place names, and ...

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 317-355, November 2026.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Nutritional Configuration of Finger Millets

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana), or ragi, is a resilient cereal widely grown in Africa and South Asia. Once considered an “orphan crop,” it is now valued for food security in climate-stressed regions. Its grains are rich in complex carbohydrates, slowly digestible starch, and dietary fiber, supporting glycemic control. Protein levels are moderate but

Effect of Legume-Finger Millet Intercropping on Finger Millet Productivity and Soil Organic Carbon Stocks

East African Journal of Agriculture and Biotechnology
The soils in the semi-arid areas of eastern Uganda are mainly ferralsols and plinthosols, characterised by low soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil fertility. On-farm experiments were therefore conducted in Kumi and Amuria districts in the parishes of Olupe and Kuju, respectively, in eastern Uganda.
