The screening of 50 sorghum varieties showed that, on average, germination did not affect the content in total phenolic compounds but decreased the content of proanthocyanidins, 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, and flavan-4-ols. Independent of germination, there are intervarietal differences in antioxidant activities among sorghum varieties. Phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities were more positiv...

Laccase is a key enzyme in plant lignin biosynthesis as it catalyzes the final step of monolignols polymerization. Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is considered as an ideal feedstock for ethanol production, but lignin greatly limits the production efficiency. No comprehensive analysis on laccase has ever been conducted in S. bicolor, although it appears as the most promising target ...

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was grown with inoculation of four indigenous AM fungal species in presence of different levels of mine spoil under green house conditions. The growth parameters such as biomass production, grain yield, per cent root infection and number of viable AM fungal spores in the rhizosphere of the mycorrhizal proso millet grown with 25% mine spoil were higher over th...

In spite of substantial introduction of new sorghum and millet cultivars in semiarid SubSaharan Africa, there has been minimum aggregate impact on yields (FAO and ICRISAT, 1996: The World Sorghum Economies: Facts, Trends and Outlook. FAO, Rome, Italy and ICRISAT, Andhra Pradesh, India) in contrast with other crops, such as cotton and maize. Only where inorganic fertilizers and improved water re...

The objective of this experiment was to assess the effects of malting, extrusion and a combination of both processes on the physical and functional properties of the pearl millet flour (PMF) and pearl millet based instant beverage powder (PMIBP) produced. PMF and PMIBP were prepared by malting, extrusion and a combination of malting and extrusion cooking from two different varieties of pearl mi...

• Inhabitants at the site of TMD (c. 500–1150) relied almost exclusively on pearl millet as a staple crop, though other cultigens were well established in region. Exclusive cultivation may be part pattern regional subsistence specialisation with roots Late Stone Age. Recent archaeobotanical analysis revealed that botanical remains from Tongo Maaré Diabal (Mali) are composed primarily (up to 85%...
