Drought and salinity are the most significant abiotic stresses to limit the production of the
world's staple food crops. Knowledge about physiological traits, and new molecular tools to …

Pearl millet is one of the most important small-grained C4 Panicoid crops with a large
genome size (∼ 2352 Mb), short life cycle and outbreeding nature. It is highly resilient to …

Plant growth is often affected with hampered physiological and cellular functioning due to
salinity and drought stress. To assess the effectiveness of plant bioregulators (PBRs) in …

Two major genes for Na+ exclusion in durum wheat, Nax1 and Nax2, that were previously
identified as the Na+ transporters TmHKT1; 4-A2 and TmHKT1; 5-A, were transferred into …

Background Plants have developed various sophisticated mechanisms to cope up with
climate extremes and different stress conditions, especially by involving specific transcription …

This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Nutritional Quality and Food, Feed,

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) are major warm-season
cereals largely grown for grain production in the semi-arid tropical regions of Asia and …

The use of biochar to increase the soil carbon sequestration is a vital tool to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Biochar was added to pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) to …

The enormously increasing population is raising needs for solving the problem of food
scarcity. Researchers and nutritionists are working hard to find the cheaper and larger …

Abiotic stresses are major constraints in crop production, and are accountable for more than
half of the total crop loss. Plants overcome these environmental stresses using coordinated …
