Millets Get a Genomic Makeover as Climate-Smart Crops
Original: Millets Get a Genomic Makeover: From Orphan Crops to Climate-Smart Supergrains
Millets, long considered orphan crops with little research attention, are being repositioned as climate-smart supergrains thanks to advances in genomics. New genome-based breeding approaches are helping scientists improve yield, nutrition and drought resilience in these hardy cereals. The renewed focus reflects growing interest in resilient grains as climate change pressures staple food systems worldwide.
Why now: Climate change and food security concerns are driving fresh scientific and media interest in resilient, nutritious crops like millets.
