Study on gene family in broomcorn millet and reveals key evolutionary characteristics and expression patterns under stress. Provides valuable insights for future polyploid studies and ethylene signaling pathway research.
Researchers identified marker-trait associations in US proso millet, a valuable grain crop. This study provides genomic resources for breeding high-yielding, nutritious varieties, benefiting both agricultural and health sectors.
Researchers isolated new diterpenoids from plants, tested their antiproliferative activity on cancer cell lines, and evaluated their phytotoxicity on weeds. Compounds showed promising anti-cancer activity.
Researchers demonstrated that extract can inhibit the growth of L.varruderale Kit. The extract reduced levels of harmful compounds in roots, increased antioxidant activity in shoots, and increased phytohormone content in seedlings, leading to weed suppression.
Proso millet has high starch content and variable amylose content. It also contains high-resistant starch and cinnamic acids, which have potential health benefits. Colored accessions have higher antiradical activity than white ones. Proso millet can be a beneficial anti-diabetic food.
Whole grain proso millet supplementation reduced blood glucose and lipid levels, improved organ health, and inhibited genes related to gluconeogenesis in mice with type 2 diabetes. The study suggests that millet can be used as a dietary supplement to alleviate this condition.
