Experiment Title Physiological and biochemical revelation of finger millet under combine effect of osmotic and salinity stress at seedling stage.
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Drought stress is the most severe environmental stress which is responsible for poor agricultural productivity and yield decline. Due to global climate change, it is predicted that drought episodes will increase in frequency, be longer and more severe, exacerbating its negative effect on crops and compromise food security particularly in developing countries. Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] Is a cereal crop that is cultivated in semi-arid and arid regions of the world under rain fed conditions. The crop plays a significant role in food security in arid and semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Finger millet is therefore an ideal crop for reshaping food propensity of people due to its nutritional richness, high photosynthetic efficiency and better tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses than other crops. As a member of the Panicoideae subfamily, finger millet acts as a model cereal crop for investigating basic biological processes. To our knowledge, there is no literature available that reports morphological, physiological and biochemical responses of finger millet to water deficit stress. We therefore investigated the physiological and biochemical mechanisms involved in finger millet varieties.
