The recording of our May 15, 2025 Millets Webinar on finger millet is now available at https://youtu.be/zfnoaIlUen4
Thanks again to Juan Ignacio Di Salvo and Srikanth Panthulugiri, for sharing their research and findings on finger millet at Iowa State University. Thank you also to Prof. Asheesh Singh, who was able to join us from a previously scheduled engagement. Among the notable aspects of this project is its having begun with a very large number of different accessions (varieties) of finger millet, to then continue with more promising ones. The presentations, in tandem, covered several topics, followed by discussion: * Introduction to finger millet & the research at ISU * Can we successfully grow finger millet in the US Midwest? * Growth & development stages of finger millet for farmers & researchers * Initiation of breeding program - crossing parents to develop varieties * Bringing useful genetic variation through mutation breeding * Conclusion & future research For previous Millets Webinars in our 2025 series, see https://www.youtube.com/@MilletsAlliance Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance
