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. The most appropriate pH and temperature conditions for t

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/

The seeds of Sorghum caudatum called red sorghum and Digitaria iburua called fonio were studied for their tannin contents. The tannin contents of these two species were evaluated by the reference method for sorghum tannins. The seed parts studied were the crushed seed set, the starch and the bran. The seeds of Sorghum caudatum and Digitaria iburua contained 1.663 mg EAG/100g P and 0.902 mg EAG/100g P, respectively.

Starch, the most abundant carbohydrate in nature has various industrial and domestic applications and is extracted from main sources like grains and tubers. Native starch has limited applications due to low shear resistance, thermal decomposition and retrogradation that necessitate modifications. Obtaining starch from common sources leads to competitive demand which necessitated sourcing starch among underutilised crops such as <em>Digitaria exilis</em> (De) and <em>Digitaria iburua</em> (Di). Therefore, the aim of this study was to extract starches from De and Di, modify the starches and dete

Abstract:

Crop evolutionary history and domestication processes are key issues for better conservation and effective use of crop genetic diversity. In Western Africa, two small indigenous grain cereals are found, black and white fonio (<em>Digitaria exilis</em> and <em>Digitaria iburua</em> respectively). The relationship between these two cultivated crops and wild <em>Digitaria</em> species is still unclear. We analysed <strong>whole genome sequences of 265 accessions</strong> comprising the two cultivated species and their closely wild relatives. We used different complementary methods and genomic app

Abstract Crop evolutionary history and domestication processes are key issues for better conservation and effective use of crop genetic diversity. Black and white fonio (Digitaria iburua and D. exilis, respectively) are two small indigenous grain cereals grown in West Africa. The relationship between these two cultivated crops and wild Digitaria species is still unclear. Here, we analyse whole genome sequences of 265 accessions comprising these two cultivated species and their close wild relatives. We show that white and black fonio were the result of two independent domestications without gen

Abstract:

A study was conducted on the physiological characteristics, proximate and quantitative phytochemical analysis of white fonio (Digitaria exilis) and black fonio (Digitaria iburua) originating from West Africa. Fonio is an important traditional African cereal crop yet neglected with little attention as revealed from the literature. Fonio is a potential plant that can significantly contribute in improving economic status, nutritional and health benefits due to its shorter lifecycle and drought tolerance for food security. The current study can serve as a baseline for further studies in the areas

Abstract:

Africa is home to important centers of origin and diversity of crop wild relatives (CWR), including many species adapted to adverse agroecological conditions, namely drought and poor soils. Plant genetic resources from Cabo Verde Islands have been poorly explored for their potential to supplement the genetic pool of cultivated species. In this paper we identify Cabo Verde’s CWR from the Poaceae family and provide a checklist of priority CWRtaxa, highlighting those of particular conservation concern and the areas which should be the focus of the most intensive conservation efforts in these isla

Abstract:

Abstract Background The production of novel foods from underutilized nutritious tropical crops is increasing; however, the toxicological studies are sparse. In this study, the safety of the breakfast food produced from the blend of fonio and pigeon pea was examined by evaluating the biochemical and toxicological parameters of the breakfast food using Wistar albino rats. Twenty male Wistar albino rats subdivided into 4 groups of 5 were separately fed with four food samples (100% fonio, 80:20 fonio:pigeon pea, standard rat feed (control) and a commercial brand of corn flake) for 28 days after wh
