Time‐series multi‐omics analysis of micronutrient stress in Sorghum bicolor reveals iron and zinc crosstalk and regulatory network conservation

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Overlap between Fe and Zn responsive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were found, indicative of micronutrient crosstalk, and conservation of root and leaf GRNs and genes suggests strong constraint on homeostasis networks in plants. Abstract Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops.

In-silico identification and validation of miRNAs in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum L.]

Current Plant Biology, 2018
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is an important C4 crop in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asian and African countries which is under cultivation for grain, forage and stover.

Effect of sowing date and genotype on pearl millet yield across semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In climate change–vulnerable, food‐insecure semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa, limited studies compared the performance of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)] landraces and improved genotypes under staggered sowing to establish their interactions, resulting in a generalization that landraces are lower yielding than their improved ...

How can participatory breeding contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity ? Experiences from Rajasthan, Indian [PDF]

, 2001
Participatory plant breeding (PPB) has a considerable potential to maintain local biodiversity. With PPB, breeders and farmers share their knowledge and skills in order to develop varieties or breeding strategies together.

Potential to Improve Nitrogen Fertilizer Use Efficiency and Mitigate Pollution in Tropical Pastures Grazed by Sheep

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
We hypothesize that increasing N application rates will affect N use efficiency (NUE) for lambs grazing warm‐season annual grasses. We evaluated the effect of N fertilizer application rates (50, 100, 200, and 400 kg N/ha) on forage pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.) and animal responses: N balance and NUE per animal and per area basis.

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.

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Selection of suitable additives for seed pelletizing to enhance germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia in restoration of semi‐arid degraded rangelands

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Despite direct seeding, seed pelletizing with useful materials is one of the effective methods to improve plant growth. This experiment assessed the impacts of different additives used in seed pelletizing on germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia at a degraded semi‐arid rangeland.

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.
