Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the effects of colchicine treatment on the reproductive traits and grain yield of two species of Acha, Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua. Colchicine, a mitotic inhibitor, is known for inducing polyploidy and altering plant characteristics. The study focused on evaluating number of spikes, spike length, number of seeds per spike, and grain yield per hectare. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatment groups included colchicine-treated plants at varying concentrations (0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 g/

Abstract:

In this study, amylolytic enzymes were induced and extracted from the grains of Digitaria exilis (Acha) and Digitaria iburua (Iburu) which are underutilized African cereals. These findings can aid in determining the suitability of enzymes from the grains as a suitable alternative to enzymes from other tropical cereals. Whole grains of Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua (100 g) were steeped in water and water containing phosphate salt for 24 h at room temperature and germinated in a locally constructed malting chamber for six (6) days.

Abstract:

AbstractDigitaria exilis is an important indigenous cereal in West Africa. The first fonio reference transcriptome was released and became a key tool for developing new molecular markers contributing to a better understanding of its genetic diversity. A total of 126 new putative primer pairs were successfully designed in 37,327 unigenes from the D. exilis transcriptome. Thirty-seven primer pairs were randomly selected and tested for their ability to cross-amplify to related species. Clear amplification patterns were observed on 24 primer pairs. Of these, 71, 74 and 35% showed polymorphism in t

Abstract:

Acha (Digitaria exilis Kipps. and D. iburua Stapf.) are valuable indigenous food crops in West Africa, but despite several economic potentials of this crop, little or no attention is paid to its germplasm evaluation and improvement. In this study, we assessed genetic diversity and relationship among genotypes of cultivated acha in Nigeria using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers for the first time. Genomic DNA were extracted from the genotypes and we performed fragment amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A total of 95 loci consisting of 790 bands were amplified by 13 ISS

Fonio is one of the lost crops of Africa, and part of the reasons it has been neglected is inadequate information on Fonio growth and yield potential across its growing areas, hence the need to assess the response of available germplasm to fertilizer application. The objectives of the study were to determine the growth and yield response of Fonio accessions to fertilizer application, and to evaluate the interactive effect of fertilizer and Fonio accession on growth and yield.

Acha (Fonio) Digitaria sp. is a valuable cereal crop widely cultivated in several African countries. The genetic improvement of Acha through induced mutagenesis has gained attention for enhancing desirable traits.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of colchicine treatment on germination, plant height, and leaf count of two Acha species.

Abstract:

The study assessed variability, heritability and genetic relationships in the proximate composition among 14 Acha (Digitaria exilis Staph) accessions collected from Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro Local Government Areas of Bauchi State in North Eastern Nigeria. Entries were pretested in the screen house in plastic pots in 2017 and later evaluated in the field under rain-fed conditions in 2017 and 2018 using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Three (3) samples of harvested grain, for each entry, were subjected to proximate analysis in the laboratory to determine their percent

Abstract:

Purpose: This study was carried out to assess the bioavailability of nutrients in a fonio/ricebean based complementary food. Methodology: Treated fonio (Digitaria exilis)/sprouted (72h) ricebean (Vigna umbellata) composite were processed into four complementary diets. FNBN-70:30:30:30(Fonio: ricebean: dried carrot: crayfish). A similar blend containing in addition 20g of milk (FNBP), a third blend that contained unsprouted and undehulled ricebean (FNBU) and the fourth that contained only fonio and ricebean (FNBM) were also formulated. These were analyzed for antinutrients, phytochemicals
