There is considerable interest in sorghum, millets and pseudocereals for their phytochemical
content, their nutritional potential and their use in gluten-free products. They are generally …

Over the past 15 years, biofortification, the process of breeding nutrients into food crops, has
gained ample recognition as a cost-effective, complementary, feasible means of delivering …

Nutritional insecurity is a major threat to the world's population that is highly dependent on
cereals-based diet, deficient in micronutrients. Next to cereals, millets are the primary …

Abstract Introduction Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a highly nutritious warm
season cereal. In a major initiative to further improve its nutritive value, a partnership based …

Genetics of micronutrients and their relationships with grain yield and other traits have a
direct bearing on devising effective strategies for breeding biofortified crop cultivars. A line× …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is an important “orphan” cereal and the most
