Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a C4 crop cultivated for its grain and stover in
crop-livestock-based rain-fed farming systems of tropics and subtropics in the Indian …

The importance of seed provisioning in food security and nutrition, agricultural development
and rural livelihoods, and agrobiodiversity and germplasm conservation is well accepted by …

Crop landraces have unique local agroecological and societal functions and offer important
genetic resources for plant breeding. Recognition of the value of landrace diversity and …

The human diet depends on very few crops. Current diversity in these crops is the result of a
long interaction between farmers and cultivated plants, and their environment. Man largely …

Sustainable management of genetic resources is a crucial issue in the global context of food
security. On-farm conservation is now widely acknowledged as a relevant strategy to reach …

Drought at the reproductive stage is a major constraint to pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum
(L.) R. Br.] productivity. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) map** provides a means to dissect …

Climate changes will have an impact on food production and will require costly adaptive
responses. Adapting to a changing environment will be particularly challenging in sub …

Biocultural diversity is central to the nutrition, resilience, and adaptive capacity of Indigenous
and traditional peoples, who collectively maintain the longest ongoing human experiences …

Abstract Changes in the diversity of landraces in centres of diversity of cultivated plants need
to be assessed in order to monitor and conserve agrobioversity—a key-element of …
