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

Establishing Breeding Priorities for Developing Biofortified High-Yielding Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) Varieties and Hybrids in Dosso Region of Niger

Agronomy, 2023
West Africa is the origin and epicenter of pearl millet genetic diversity. Niger is a standalone country that produces 3.5 million tons of pearl millet from an area of 6.7 million hectares, with productivity varying from 0.5 to 0.7 t/ha.

Transition From Wild to Domesticated Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) Revealed in Ceramic Temper at Three Middle Holocene Sites in Northern Mali

African Archaeological Review, 2021
Imprints of domesticated pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) spikelets, observed as temper in ceramics dating to the third millennium BC, provide the earliest evidence for the cultivation and domestication process of this crop in northern Mali.

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.

Superiority of modified graphene oxide for enhancing the growth, yield, and antioxidant potential of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) under salt stress

, 2021
Soil salinity is a serious global problem that affects the vegetative growth and photosynthesis rates of plants. Additionally, a high salinity facilitates the accumulation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induces an increase in ...

Genetic Gains in Pearl Millet in India: Insights Into Historic Breeding Strategies and Future Perspective

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum R. Br.) is an important staple and nutritious food crop in the semiarid and arid ecologies of South Asia (SA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In view of climate change, depleting water resources, and widespread malnutrition,
