Finger Millet Blast Disease Management

Outlook on Agriculture, 2007
Finger millet is a staple, high-quality food, important to the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers in East Africa. It has been neglected by major donors to agricultural research. This paper reports recent investment by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) in several projects on blast disease that has not only led to ...

Fusarium verticillioidesfrom finger millet in Uganda

Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A, 2012
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is a subsistence crop grown in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Sub-continent. Fusarium species occurring on this crop have not been reported. Approximately 13% of the Fusarium isolates recovered from finger millet growing at three different locations in eastern Uganda belong to Fusarium verticillioides, and could ...

Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.]

2014
Millets are the primary food source for millions of people in tropical regions of the world supplying mineral nutrition and protein. In this chapter, we describe an optimized protocol for the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of finger millet variety GPU 45.

Comparative genetic analysis of wild finger millet accessions using finger millet and maize microsatellite markers

Applied Biological Research, 2017
The genomic information available for finger millet is very scarce though the plant is a rich source of highly digestible proteins and dietary fibre with good amounts of soluble and insoluble fractions. In present study, 64 maize and finger millet genomic SSRs were used for cross transferability, identification of polymorphic markers and genetic ...

Weed management in rainfed finger millet

Indian Journal of Weed Science, 2016
A field experiment was conducted during rainy season of 2014 at Experimental Farm, Hawalbagh, Almora, to know the effect of weed management practices on weed index and grain yield of rainfed finger millet. All the weed control measures significantly reduced total weed dry weight and weed index as compared to that of weedy check.

Farmers’ Adoption of Finger Millet Production Technologies and the Impact on Finger Millet Yields

Journal of Experimental Agriculture International
Low remuneration and poor adoption of Finger millet [Eleusine coracana] production technologies were major constraints in yield gap in finger millet. Therefore, evaluation of production potential, adoption, economic and other benefits of the technologies in social perspectives of the farmers was undertaken.

GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS IN FINGER MILLET

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1997
Five generation mean analysis was undertaken in finger millet (Eleusine coracuna Gaertn.) involving six parents, Co 7. Co 9, Co 13, Indaf 9, MS 2655 and MS 2863 and F1, F2 and F3 generations of four crosses Co9 x Co13, Co9 x Indaf 9, Co9 x Co7 and MS 2863 x MS 2655 for eight quantitative characters.

The genetic map of finger millet, Eleusine coracana

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2006
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), expressed-sequenced tag (EST), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to generate a genetic map of the tetraploid finger millet (Eleusine coracana subsp. coracana) genome (2n = 4x = 36).

Sterol lipids in finger millet(Eleusine coracana)

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1978
AbstractNeutral lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids (1.3%, 0.25%, and 0.10% of seed weight) were isolated from the total lipids (chloroform‐methanol) of finger millet seeds(Eleusine coracana), and four sterol‐containing lipids further isolated from neutral and glycolipids by preparative column and thin layer chromatography.

Finger millet: Eleusine coracana.

Advances in food and nutrition research, 2012
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is a grass crop grown in Africa, India Nepal, and many countries of Asia. The plant and grain is resistant to drought, pests, and pathogens. It is rich in polyphenols and particularly in calcium. The double headed trypsin, α-amylase inhibitor from this grain has been isolated and characterized extensively.
