Functional knowledge of the physiological basis of crop adaptation to stress is a prerequisite
for exploiting specific adaptation to stress environments in breeding programs. This paper …

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 …

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is an important cereal grown in adverse agroclimatic
conditions where other crops fail to produce economic yields. Because of the cultivation of …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is one of the world's hardiest warm‐season
