Threshold aluminium toxicity in finger millet

Abstract: At high concentrations, Aluminium (Al) can be a serious threat to agricultural production because it inhibits growth of the roots, inducing oxidative stress, callose induction, peroxidation of the cellular membrane, nutrient imbalances and ends with cell death. This finding aimed to investigate threshold toxicity level of Al on finger millet varieties. The threshold value was determined by wrapping and germinating twenty randomly selected and surface sterilized seeds in petri dishes. Thirty-six hours-old seedl… Show more

“…It has a C 4 photosynthesis and is adapted to growing in the semi‐arid tropics. The crop has exceptional genetic plasticity with tolerance to extreme temperatures (Kudapa et al, 2023; Yogeesh et al, 2016), moisture stress (Ceasar et al, 2018; Hittalmani et al, 2017), aluminium toxicity (Brhane, Fikiru, et al, 2017) and salinity (Divya et al, 2022; Rahman et al, 2014). The gluten‐free grain has multiple uses, such as food and beverage preparations.…”

“…The Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute (EBI) and Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) ‐ Melkassa Agricultural Research Center (MARC) maintain around 1809 and 400 finger millet accessions, respectively (EBI, 2023). The germplasm is a valuable source of economic traits including grain yield and its component traits (Anteneh et al, 2019; Assefa et al, 2013), nutritional quality (Tsehaye et al, 2006), disease (e.g., blast), heat and drought tolerance, (Assefa et al, 2013; Manyasa et al, 2019), aluminium and acidic toxicity tolerance (Brhane, Fikiru, et al, 2017), bird damage tolerance (Tsehaye et al, 2006) and excellent fermentation quality for breeding (Tsehaye et al, 2006).…”
