Linoleic acid was isolated from both the methanol extracts of proso and Japanese millet as a histone deacetylase inhibitor. It showed uncompetitive inhibitory activity toward histone deacetylase (IC(50)=0.51 mM) and potent cytotoxicity toward human leukemia K562 (IC(50)=68 microM) and prostate cancer LNCaP cells (IC(50)=193 microM). Millet containing linoleic acid might have anti-tumor activity.

This study characterized and compared 13 gluten-free (GF) flours (rice, brown rice, maize, oat, millet, teff, amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, chickpea, gram, tiger nut, plantain) for their nutritional functional properties. For all GF investigated, starch was the major component, except nut with lower content (<45%), but higher fiber (8.8–35.4%). The amount of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassiu...

Despite the extensive use of small millet landraces as an important source of nutrition for people living in semi-arid regions, they are presently marginalized and their diversity and distribution are threatened at a global scale. Local farmers have developed ancient breeding programs entrenched in traditional knowledge (TK) that has sustained rural cultures for thousands of years. The conventi...

Aims: To determine the “Effect of plant growth regulator on growth, physiology and yield direct sown finger millet”.
 Place Duration Study: The field experiment was conducted during rabi 2022 at South Farm, Division Agronomy, Karunya Institute Technology Sciences, Coimbatore.The soil experimental sandy clay loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH 5.36), level organic carbon (1.03%), a...

Objective: Fusarium diseases that cause grain mold and stalk rot of millet are the most important diseases, of these crops in Iran. Fusarium can cause stalk rots, ear rots, and grain mold, resulting in serious production losses in millet, and produce mycotoxins that are harmful to both humans and domesticated animals.  Methods: A total of 23 Fusarium isolates were rec...

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2022-23 in no new plot 1 at South farm Karunya Institute Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore. This study to assess the growth yield finger millet using nutrient management practices. The treatment consists seven different parameters with control. Results revealed that parameters, attributes, were significantly influenced by treatments manag...

Forage production is primarily limited by weather conditions under dryland production systems in Brazilian semi-arid regions, therefore sowing at the appropriate time is critical. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the CSM-CERES-Pearl Millet model from the DSSAT software suite for its ability to simulate growth, development, and forage accumulation of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum...

Since the late 1990s, vendors of integrated management tools called ERPs (enterprise resource planning) have found their primary market, mainly large companies, is saturated. To find new customers, they have begun to market these products to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) (generally with about 100 to 500 employees) (Deep, Guttridge, Dani & Burns, 2007; Muscatello, Small & Chen, 2003). Howe...
