Association Analysis in Germplasm and F2 Segregating Population of Barnyard Millet (Echinochloa frumentacea Roxb. Link) for Biometrical and Nutritional Traits

“…The high positive significant association between Fe and Zn densities has been reported in pearl millet (Rai et al, 2014 andGovindaraj et al, 2013), sorghum (Ashok Kumar et al, 2013 and2010), rice (Anandan et al, 2011), wheat (Velu et al, 2011 andZhang et al, 2010) and finger millet (Upadhyaya et al, 2011). As well as nonsignificant association of grain Fe and Zn densities with grain weight (Rai et al, 2012 andGupta et al, 2009).…”

Calcium Biofortification: Three Pronged Molecular Approaches for Dissecting Complex Trait of Calcium Nutrition in Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana) for Devising Strategies of Enrichment of Food Crops

“…Calcium content varied from 162 to 487 mg/100 g with a mean value of 320.8 mg/100 g grain in 36 genotypes of finger millet (Vadivoo et al, 1998), 293–390 mg/100 g in six varieties of finger millet (Babu et al, 1987); 50–300 mg/100 g in another set of six varieties (Admassu et al, 2009). Furthermore, very high calcium content, 450 mg/100 g (Panwar et al, 2010) and 489 mg/100 g (Upadhyaya et al, 2011) has been reported in few finger millet genotypes. It has also been found that the average calcium content (329 mg/100 g grain) in white genotypes was considerably higher than the brown (296 mg/100 grain) genotypes (Seetharam, 2001).…”

Genetic Diversity for Agro-Nutritional Traits in African Landraces of Vigna subterranean Germplasm

“…One of the practicality of classifying genotypes producing useful variabilities is to acquire information on the correlation between genetic diversity and eco-geographical background, which is frequently used by plant breeders for the development of well-organized genetic resource management and application strategies (Upadhyaya et al 2011). In the current study, it is obvious that there was little empirical evidence for the relationship between diversity pattern and geographical origin.…”
