“…Its seeds are rich in protein, fat, and vitamins and have high nutritional value and relatively balanced nutrition. Millet plays an important role in improving the food nutrition structure and food security [ 16 ]. At the same time, the nutritive organs of millet contain rich nutrients and are crucial in animal feeding.…”

Setaria italica is an important crop in China that plays a vital role in the Chinese dietary structure. In the last several decades, high temperature has become the most severe climate issue in the world, which causes great harm to the yield and quality formation of millet. In this study, two main cultivated varieties (ZG2 and AI88) were used to explore the photosynthesis and yield index of the whole plant under heat stress. Results implied that photosynthesis was not inhibited during the heat stress, and that the imbalance in sugar transport between different tissues may be the main factor that affects yield formation. In addition, the expression levels of seven SiSUT and twenty-four SiSWEET members were explored. Sugar transporters were heavily affected during the heat stress. The expression of SiSWEET13a was inhibited by heat stress in the stems, which may play a vital role in sugar transport between different tissues. These results provide new insights into the yield formation of crops under heat stress, which will provide guidance to crop breeding and cultivation.

“…Given these circumstances, there is a critical need to investigate and embrace alternative or supplementary crops. These should be simpler to grow, resilient to climate uctuations, require fewer resources, nutritionally superior for human consumption, and environmentally sustainable in terms of agricultural practices (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2023).…”

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), a member of poaceae family categorized as major millet, has emerged as a nutritional powerhouse with the potential to tackle food security challenges and has garnered recognition for its unique nutritional composition and resilience in diverse agro-climatic conditions. Therefore, this study focused on the effect of Fermentation (FP), Steaming (SP), Blanching (BP), and Ultrasound (UP) on the proximate composition, vitamin content, physiochemical property, anti-nutrient factor, bioactive compounds, microbial count, and antioxidant activity of pearl millet was analyzed. Raw pearl millet, fermented (spontaneous, 72 hrs), steamed (30 min), blanched (98o C, 30 sec), and ultrasound treated (66%amplitude, 26 min) were characterized. The results showed a significant increase in protein content of FP (14.803 ± 0.04). All the treated samples led to a reduction of phytic acid and tannin but the highest reduction was found in FP is 84% reduction in phytic acid and 57% reduction in tannin. UP showed a positive effect on color and antioxidant activity. Fermentation led to an increase in total phenolic and flavonoid content. Ultrasound and fermentation led to an increase in the volatile bioactive compounds. Also, these treatments exerted a profound influence on microbial activity (Total plate count), underscoring their ability to enhance food safety and quality. This study found that these treatments showed major effects on the physicochemical properties and nutritional composition of millet, suggesting that it can be used in food processing for food fortification and eliminate anti-nutritional components.
