A Catalytic Hydrothermal Pretreatment process for sugar recovery from pearl millet biomass for Biofuels Production

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2020
Pearl millet biomass represents an unused source for biofuel production. Bioconversion of pearl millet biomass to ethanol is significantly hindered by the structural complexity of the biomass.

Development of a model estimating root length density from root impacts on a soil profile in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br). Application to measure root system response to water stress in field conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Pearl millet is able to withstand dry and hot conditions and plays an important role for food security in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India. However, low soil fertility and drought constrain pearl millet yield.

GENETIC VARIABILITY IN PEARL MILLET, NAPIER GRASS AND THEIR HYBRIDS

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1993
Fifteen genotypes of pearl millet, five genotypes of napier grass and the resultant fifteen hybrids obtained from them were evaluated for genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance. The differences between the genotypes were highly significant

Effect of Integrated Technologies on Production and Productivity of Pearl Millet in the Dryland Areas of Wag Himira Administrative Zone, Eastern Amhara, Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, 2020
Production of pearl millet with yield improvement would have a direct impact on the drought-prone areas of Ethiopia since pearl millet is drought tolerant and early maturing with high water use efficiency.

Integrative multi-omics and biotechnology for climate resilience and micronutrient biofortification in millets: from trait discovery to precision crop improvement

Current Research in Biotechnology
Millets are small-seeded cereals of the family Poaceae that tolerate drought, heat and poor soils. Their grains are rich in iron, zinc, calcium and phenolic antioxidants.

Effect of organic and inorganic nutrients on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)- gobhi sarson (Brassica napus var. napus) cropping sequence

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
A pronounced residual effect of organic and inorganic nutrients, applied in pearl millet crop was observed on yields of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R Br]-gobhi sarson (Brassica napus L. var napus) cropping system.

Functional characteristics and storage stability of hot air assisted radio frequency treated pearl millet

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition
Nutricereals, pearl millet flour consumption is hardly limited to a few specific regions of the world owing to the development of early rancidity on storage.

Abandonment of pearl millet cropping and homogenization of its diversity over a 40 year period in Senegal.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Cultivated diversity is considered an insurance against major climatic variability. However, since the 1980s, several studies have shown that climate variability and agricultural changes may already have locally eroded crop genetic diversity.

Abiotic stress tolerance in pearl millet: Unraveling molecular mechanisms via transcriptomics

Science Progress
Pearl millet ( Pennisetum glaucum (L.)) is a vital cereal crop renowned for its ability to thrive in challenging environmental conditions; however, the molecular mechanisms governing its salt stress tolerance remain poorly understood. To address this gap,
