Exploitation of Heterosis in Pearl Millet: A Review [PDF]
Plants, 2020 The phenomenon of heterosis has fascinated plant breeders ever since it was first described by Charles Darwin in 1876 in the vegetable kingdom and later elaborated by George H Shull and Edward M East in maize during 1908. Heterosis is the phenotypic and functional superiority manifested in the F1 crosses over the parents.

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.The graphic illustrates the development of nuggets traditionally known as “wari” prepared with whole green grams and composite flour barnyard millet var. (PRJ‐1) and finger millet var. (VL‐M‐380) in a 1:1 ratio. The addition of millet significantly improved the nutritional value of nuggets, providing higher levels of protein, carbohydrates, fiber ...

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Dietary fiber (soluble/insoluble) was recovered from pumpkin seed hulls using hydrothermal extraction. Process parameters were optimized, and a comprehensive profiling of recovered fiber fractions was performed. ABSTRACT Insoluble (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) were recovered from pumpkin seed hulls (PSHs) using hydrothermal treatment ...
