- What are the potential implications of understanding the physiological efficiency of millets under abiotic stress for improving their productivity and nutritional quality, and how can this knowledge be applied in breeding and cultivation programs?
- How can advanced technologies such as genomic selection, precision agriculture, and remote sensing be leveraged to enhance our understanding of the physiological efficiency of millets under abiotic stress?
- How can this inform targeted interventions and management strategies for millet production in marginal environments?
Historical spread of millets around the world forced the crop of various species to adjust with ability to produce seed rewarded in stressful (abiotic) environments. Lack of historical scientific manipulation allowed millets to adjust by nature. Focused research on specific abiotic characteristics will be successful if farmers find research increases millet yields and profitability in their fields, especially their unproductive fields where other crops have struggled.

With the devastating effect of climate change staring us in the face, better understanding of stress and adaptatation mechanism of various crops is enormous especially in countries dependent of rainfed cultivation and the duo of rainfall and temperature pattern has become unstable
