- W2893472704 abstract "Pearl millet is an important food crop in the arid and semi-arid tropical regions o f Afri ca and Asia.These regions are home to millions of poor smallholder's households living in harsh agro ecology andreported higher prevalence of malnutrition. Such poor households have few options in terms of foodcrops, besides the limited markets. Indeed, pearl millet is one of the food crops they continue to growfor their food and nutritional security. Pearl millet is important sources of dietary carbohydrates,energy, protein, and important minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc. Conside ring inherenthigh nutritional values and climate resilient nature (drought and heat), demand for pearl millet asfood, beside valued for its Stover as a source of livestock fodder, is projected to g row strongly inAsia (India) and Africa (West and Central Afri ca). Iron (cause anemia) and zinc (cause stunting)deficiencies are widespread and serious publ ic heal th problems worldwide, including Lndia andAfrica. Biofortification is a cost-effective and su stainable agricultural strategy to address this problem.Research on pearl millet has shown that large genetic variability (30-140 mg!kg Fe and 20-90 mg!kg Zn) ava ilable in this crop ca n be effectively utilized to develop high-yield in g cul tiva rs with highiron and zinc densities. Both Open - pollinated varieties (Dhanshakti and Chakti ) and hybrids (ICMH1202, ICMH 1203 and ICMH 1301) of pea rl millet with high grain yield (>3.5 tons/ha in hybrids) andhigh levels of iron (70-75 mg/kg) and zinc (35-40 mg/kg) densities have been developed and released.Currently, India growing >70,000 ha of biofortified pearl millet, besides more pipeline hybrids andvarieties are under various stage of testing at the national (India) and international (west Africa)trials for possible release. Genomic tools will be an integral part of breeding program particularlyfor nutritional traits to use diagnostic markers and genomic selection. Clinical studies showed that200g grains from biofortified culti var would provide bioavailable Fe to meet full recommendeddaily allowance (RDA) in children, adult men and 80% of the RDA in women. Till today, no marketsto promote biofortified cultivars/grains/products as no incentive price and such products aims toaddress food and nutri tional securi ty challenges simultaneously. The demand is likely to increaseonly after investment and integration into modern public d istribution system, nutritional interventionschemes, private seed and food companies with strong mainstreaming nutritional policies. In thenon-traditional regions, this will contribute to livestock and poultry feed industry as spill-overbenefi ts to improve nutrition." @default.
