Pennisetum glaucum
Contents
Description
- Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] a widely used grain and forage crop, is grown in areas frequented with one or more abiotic stresses, has superior drought and heat tolerance and considered a model crop for stress tolerance studies. It usually thrive in areas with scanty rainfall and is also well adapted to various abiotic stresses such as drought, high temperature, salinity etc. whether occurring individually or in combination making it an ideal crop for functional genomic studies to understand the molecular basis of abiotic stress tolerance and adaptation.
- Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is an important small-grained C 4 panicoid crop grown for forage, grain and stover in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. It is the sixth most important cereal crops after rice, wheat, maize, barley and sorghum with excellent nutrient composition and is also considered a potential biofuel grain feedstock; http://ag.fvsu.edu/index.php/research/bioenergy/).
