Evaluation reveals genetic variability in nutritional characteristics of Kodo millet, indicating potential for crop improvement.

The research evaluates the biochemical and nutritional characteristics of kodo millet germplasm to identify superior genotypes.
Analyzed eleven kodo millet germplasm including one check variety under controlled conditions.
Evaluated biochemical traits like carbohydrate content, crude fibre, total minerals, and sugars.
Assessed nutritional content focusing on essential amino acids.
Utilized Completely Randomized Design for statistical analysis.
Significant genetic variability observed among the germplasm for all traits.
Germplasm Kodo-5 showed highest carbohydrate (65.17 g/100 g) and protein content (9.08 g/100 g).
Kodo-7 recorded the highest lysine content (179.40 mg/g), highlighting diversity in nutritional profiles.

Kumar et al. (2026) studied this question.
