Abstract Millets, comprising a diverse group of small‐seeded grains, have emerged as vital crops with immense nutritional, environmental, and economic significance. The comprehension complex traits in millets, influenced by multifaceted genetic determinants, presents compelling challenge opportunity agricultural research. This review delves into the transformative roles phenomics genomics deciphering these intricate architectures. On front, high‐throughput platforms generate rich datasets on...

Abstract Sorghum germplasm showed grain Fe and Zn genetic variability, but a few varieties were biofortified with these minerals. This work contributes to narrowing this gap. concentrations along 55,068 high-quality GBS SNP data from 140 sorghum accessions used in study. Both micronutrients exhibited good variability respective ranges of 22.09–52.55 ppm 17.92–43.16 ppm. Significant marker-trait associations identified on chromosomes 1, 3, 5. Two major effect SNPs (S01_72265728 S05_58213541)...

Niger (Guizotia abyssinica (L. f.) Cass.), an oilseed crop from the Compositae family, thrives in temperate and tropical climates. Its small seeds, rich oil (50–60% biocrude), are widely used for biodiesel, soap production, as a condiment culinary applications. Additionally, harvested plants serve green manure, improving soil health. However, cultivation India has significantly declined over past decade due to low yields, poor seed set, self-incompatibility, harvest index, shattering. A lack...

Hundred germplasm lines of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were grown in RBD with two replications under rain fed season at College Agriculture, Latur. The maximum genotypic coefficient variation was noticed for seed yield per plant (32.76%), number secondary branches (32.6%), test weight (31.28%), total (28.68%) and pods (25.7%). high heritability percent coupled genetic advance as percentage mean recorded by (75.13, 58.51), (80.63, 60.31), (86.7, 49.30), (90.16, 61.18) (91.83, 56.62)...

The effects of transferring brown midrib (bmr) alleles in sweet and high biomass sorghums (SS/HBM) are not fully understood, available works produced mixed results depending upon the genetic background recurrent parent used. Early-generation testing two mutations parents can help predict final products make appropriate early go/no-go breeding decisions, yet, this information is missing. present study was therefore carried out to reduce these gaps. Marker-assisted transfer bmr6 bmr12...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is ranked fifth as a cereal crop after maize, rice, wheat, and barley based on global cultivation area. However, heat drought stresses cause improper fertility restoration inefficient pollination, severely affecting sorghum productivity.

Sixty-one sunflower multihead inbred lines including one check were evaluated to study the morphological variations for eleven characters by Meteroglyph analysis and index score method. These grouped into four complexes viz., 18 dwarf height with low seed yield per plant (Complex I), 17tall (complex II),15dwarf high III), 11 tall IV).The scatter diagram, scoring ray pattern showed that beside plant, genotypes SS-2038, IC-597575, EC-601785, EC-640337, IC-438395,...

Confectionary sunflower genotypes, EC 625693, 318761 and SCG 62 were treated with sodium azide at 100 ppm, 200 ppm 300 respectively. In M2 generation, observations recorded on eight quantitative characters viz., days to 50% flowering, maturity, plant height, head diameter, seed filling percentage, hull content, grain weight yield per plant. The treatment had high mean value for contributing like However, the mutant populations showed negative response most of characters. estimates GCV, PCV,...
