This study aims to develop a functional prebiotic nutraceutical supplement mix for geriatrics and evaluate its nutritional sensory characteristics. Prebiotics are non-digestible food nutrients that selectively stimulate the activities of beneficial probiotic organisms in colon maintain intestinal microbial balance. Nutraceutical includes foods, dietary supplements, medical foods. Geriatrics is ...

Minor cereals such as barley and small millets contributed 1.13–1.73 1.95–2.78% to the total production acreage, respectively, during 2010–11 2020–21. The present study analyses trends in area, yield (2010–11 2020–21); breeding varieties seed chain of minor 2021–22. Barley acreage ranged between 7.0 lakh ha (2010–11, 2012–13) 5.9 (2019–20), registering a decline 18.6%. Production showed an incr...

Abstract. Millet agriculture, i.e., broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) and foxtail (Setaria italica), initially originated in northern China provided the basis for emergence of first state Central Plains. However, owing to lack a comprehensive archaeobotanical dataset, when, where, how these two types evolved across different regions periods remains unclear. Here, we presented dataset macrore...

To ward off pathogens, plants establish innate immunity system in which salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role. The downy mildew of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is oomycete disease caused by biotrophic pathogen Sclerospora graminicola, seriously affects the yield and quality millet. However, it not clear how SA regulating defense responses In this study, we found that spraying exogenou...

The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a sustainable way for efficient absorption and utilization nutrients by crop species to enhance growth yield persistence against biotic abiotic stresses. However, the PGPRs in drought tolerant crops such as foxtail millet limited because low adaptability moisture conditions. In this study, acclimatised conditions, were isolated from rhiz...
