2673ReseaRch M illets, which are comprised of a number of C 4 smallgrained, annual cereal grasses including barnyard millet, kodo millet, and little millet have abundant within-species racial diversity. These species also differ in ploidy levels. The ploidy levels in barnyard millet range from tetraploid to hexaploid to octaploid, while kodo and little millets are tetraploids (de Wet et al., 1983;Wanous, 1990). Barnyard millet has two distinct cultivated species, the Indian barnyard millet [E. colona (L.) Link] and Japanese barnyard millet [E. crus-galli (L.) Beauv], each with two Abbreviations: CB, culm branching; CR%, coincidence rate; CT, culm thickness; DF, days to 50% flowering; FL, fruit length; FLBL, flag leaf blade length; FLBW, flag leaf blade width; FLSL, flag leaf sheath length; FW, fruit width; G × E, genotype × environment; GH, growth habit; H´, Shannon-Weaver diversity index; IL, inflorescence length; LLR, length of lowest raceme; LRL, longest raceme length; MD%, mean difference percentage; NBT, number of basal tillers; NL, number of leaves; NNPAI, number of nodes on primary axis of inflorescence; NRAT, number of racemes above thumb; NRI, number of racemes per inflorescence; NSIB, number of secondary inflorescence branches; OPAS, overall plant aspects score; PE, panicle exsertion; PH, plant height; PL, peduncle length; PP, plant pigmentation; TL, thumb length; VD%, variance difference percentage; VR% variable rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
