Cereal domestication and evolution of branching: evidence for soft selection in the Tb1 orthologue of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: During the Neolithic revolution, early farmers altered plant development to domesticate crops. Similar traits were often selected independently in different wild species; yet the genetic basis of this parallel phenotypic evolution remains ...

Mixed Planting with Legumes Modified the Water Source and Water Use of Pearl Millet

Plant Production Science, 2005
In semi-arid areas, pearl millet is an important staple food crop that is traditionally intercropped with cowpea. This study evaluated the water competition between pearl millet and cowpea using deuterated water. At vegetative stage, pearl millet biomass

Moisture, carbohydrate, protein, fat, calcium, and zinc content in finger, foxtail, pearl, and proso millets

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research KLEU, 2019
BACKGROUND: Millets are a group of variable small seeded grass, widely grown around the world as cereals crop. The finger millet had more moisture and calcium content. Whereas, fat content was least when compared to three other different millets. Foxtail

Physiological and Proteomic Signatures Reveal Mechanisms of Superior Drought Resilience in Pearl Millet Compared to Wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Presently, pearl millet and wheat are belonging to highly important cereal crops. Pearl millet, however, is an under-utilized crop, despite its superior resilience to drought and heat stress in contrast to wheat.

Pearl Millet Developed Deep Roots and Changed Water Sources by Competition with Intercropped Cowpea in the Semiarid Environment of Northern Namibia

Plant Production Science, 2006
The practice of intercropping pearl millet with cowpea is widespread among subsistence farmers in northern Namibia. In this region, the scarce and erratic rainfall may enhance competition for the limited soil water between intercropped plants.

Differential improvement in transpiration efficiency of C3 and C4 crop plants under elevated CO2 conditions

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014
Sunflower plants (C3) transpired more water than pearl millet (C4) from seedling to maturity under ambient conditions. The transpiration (water use) at elevated CO2 was lesser for pearl millet and higher for sunflower compared to ambient.
