  • Systematics and Evolution of Eleusine Coracana (Gramineae)1
    Amer. J. Bot. 71(4): 550-557. 1984. SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION OF ELEUSINE CORACANA (GRAMINEAE)1 J. M. J. de W et,2 K. E. Prasada Rao,3 D. E. Brink,2 and M. H. Mengesha3 departm ent of Agronomy, University of Illinois, 1102 So. Goodwin, Urbana, Illinois 61801, and international Crops Research Institute for the Semi-arid Tropics, Patancheru, India ABSTRACT Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. subsp. coracana) is cultivated in eastern and southern Africa and in southern Asia. The closest wild relative of finger millet is E. coracana subsp. africana (Kennedy-O’Byme) H ilu & de Wet. W ild finger m illet (subsp. africana) is native to Africa but was introduced as a weed to the warmer parts of Asia and America. Derivatives of hybrids between subsp. coracana and subsp. africana are companion weeds of the crop in Africa. Cultivated finger millets are divided into five races on the basis of inflorescence mor­ phology. Race coracana is widely distributed across the range of finger millet cultivation. It is present in the archaeological record o f early African agriculture that m ay date back 5,000 years. Racial evolution took place in Africa. Races vulgaris, elongata., plana, and compacta evolved from race coracana, and were introduced into India some 3,000 years ago. Little independent racial evolution took place in India. E l e u s i n e Gaertn. is predominantly an African tancheru in India, and studied morphologi­ genus. Six of its nine species are confined to cally. These include 698 accessions from the tropical and subtropical Africa (Phillips, 1972).

  • Processing, Nutritional Composition and Health Benefits of Finger Millet
    a OSSN 0101-2061 (Print) Food Science and Technology OSSN 1678-457X (Dnline) DDO: https://doi.org/10.1590/fst.25017 Processing, nutritional composition and health benefits of finger millet in sub-saharan Africa Shonisani Eugenia RAMASHOA1*, Tonna Ashim ANYASO1, Eastonce Tend GWATA2, Stephen MEDDDWS-TAYLDR3, Afam Osrael Dbiefuna JODEANO1 Abstract Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) also known as tamba, is a staple cereal grain in some parts of the world with low income population. The grain is characterized by variations in colour (brown, white and light brown cultivars); high concentration of carbohydrates, dietary fibre, phytochemicals and essential amino acids; presence of essential minerals; as well as a gluten-free status. Finger millet (FM) in terms of nutritional composition, ranks higher than other cereal grains, though the grain is extremely neglected and widely underutilized. Nutritional configuration of FM contributes to reduced risk of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and gastro-intestinal tract disorder when absorbed in the body. Utilization of the grain therefore involves traditional and other processing methods such as soaking, malting, cooking, fermentation, popping and radiation. These processes are utilised to improve the dietetic and sensory properties of FM and equally assist in the reduction of anti-nutritional and inhibitory activities of phenols, phytic acids and tannins. However, with little research and innovation on FM as compared to conventional cereals, there is the need for further studies on processing methods, nutritional composition, health benefits and valorization with a view to commercialization of FM grains. Keywords: finger millet; nutritional composition; gluten-free; antioxidant properties; traditional processing; value-added products. Practical Application: Effects of processing on nutritional composition, health benefits and valorization of finger millet grains.

  • KEY GRASS SPECIES in VEGETATION UNIT Gm 11: Rand Highveld Grassland in MPUMALANGA PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA
    IDENTIFICATION OF KEY GRASS SPECIES IN VEGETATION UNIT Gm 11: Rand Highveld Grassland IN MPUMALANGA PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA Winston S.W. Trollope & Lynne A. Trollope 22 River Road, Kenton On Sea, 6191, South Africa Cell; 082 200 33373 Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Veld condition refers to the condition of the vegetation in relation to some functional characteristic/s (Trollope, et.al., 1990) and in the case of both livestock production and wildlife management based on grassland vegetation, comprises the potential of the grass sward to produce forage for grazers and its resistance to soil erosion as influenced by the basal and aerial cover of the grass sward. The following procedure was used for developing a key grass species technique for assessing veld condition in the vegetation type Gm 11: Rand Highveld Grassland (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006) in Mpumalanga Province – see Figure 1. Rand Highveld Grassland: Gm11 Figure 1: The Rand Highveld Grassland Gm11 vegetation type located in the highveld area east of Pretoria in Mpumalanga Province (Mucina & Rutherford, 2006). The identification of the key grass species is based on the procedure developed by Trollope (1990) viz.. Step 1: Identify and list all the grass species occurring in the study area noting their identification characteristics for use in the field. Step 2: Based on careful observations in the field and consultations with local land users, subjectively classify all the known grass species in the area into Decreaser and Increaser species according to their reaction to a grazing gradient i.e. from high to low grazing intensities, as follows: DECREASER SPECIES: Grass & herbaceous species that decrease when veld is under or over grazed; 2 INCREASER I SPECIES: Grass & herbaceous species that increase when veld is under grazed or selectively grazed; INCREASER II SPECIES: Grass & herbaceous species that increase when veld is over grazed.

(2019): Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn., new species of the adventive flora of Slovakia. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 29 (1): 077-084. Abstract: First two records of Eleusine indica in Slovakia are presented. This exotic grass species originating from the tropical Old World was found in the Podunajská nížina Lowland (Eupannonicum): in 2017 in Štúrovo and the next year in Bratislava, municipal part Karlova Ves. Both populations counted only three individuals grown in the pavement cracks. The habitat conditions of each locality in detail are characterized. Whereas Slovakia is among the last countries where E. indica was just discovered within Europe, we discuss the environmental conditions and the origin of the species in the backlight of earlier studies related to its occurrence in the surrounding countries. Key words: urban ecosystems, roadsides, new record, Eleusine indica, casual alien, plant invasion Introduction Eleusine indica is a late summer annual grass. Its long, spreading spikes resemble goose feet. Confusion with other grasses of digitate inflorescence (e.g. with Digitaria or Cynodon) is possible, but E. indica ‘s flattened culms, bright green leaves, size of many-flowered spikelets, and lack of awns serve to distinguish (Clayton et al.

This thesis has not been submitted for examination at any other university or academic institution. December 2000 11 ABSTRACT The objective ofthis study was to describe the impacts ofthe density ofChromolaena odorata (chromolaena) on species composition in coastal grasslands and to investigate serial changes in the vegetation following the implementation ofa burning programme. The thesis deals with key ecological concepts and issues, so a comprehensive literature review is included. Chromolaena invades coastal grasslands that are not burnt regularly (i.e. biennially). Grasslands that were not burnt for 30 years were seral to secondary forest. The successional pathway from open grassland to closed canopy forest varied according to soil type. Coastal grasslands on Glenrosa soils were characterised by savanna at an intermediate stage between the grassland and forest states. Shading ended the persistence ofsavanna species (e.g. Combretum molle, Dichrostachys cinerea and Heteropyxis natalensis) in forest, whereas forest precursors (e.g. Canthium inerme, Maytenus undata and Protorhus longifolia) only established where fire was absent. Chromolaena infestations were characterised by multi-stemmed adult plants ofvariable height (i.e.

Scop.], sometimes called hairy crabgrass, is an annual, spreading grass prob- lematic in areas where grasses are desired, such as pastures, turf, and roadsides and disturbed areas like rowcrops and gardens throughout the MidSouth. Large crabgrass has also been used as a forage. Regulations Large crabgrass is not regulated as a noxious weed in the MidSouth. Description Vegetative Growth Large crabgrass is an annual warm-season grass reaching around 3’ in height with good conditions. Plants are caespi- tose, but mat-forming and rooting at the lower nodes. Lower nodes are hairy, but upper nodes may be smooth. Flowering shoots ascending with leaves usually flat, blades around 0.25’’ to 0.5’’ wide and 2’’ to 6’’ long. Blades are pubescent to rough, often with long hairs on leaf margins near the sheath. Sheaths are hairy (papillose-pilose), especially the lower sheaths. Ligules are membranous with a fringe of hairs, 2 to 3 mm long. Flowering Flowering occurs from July to October. The inflorescences are racemes, 3 to 9, and digitate. Racemes are 2’’ to 6’’ long, in 1 or 2 whorls, with a winged rachis (0.8 to 1 mm wide).
