Abiotic stresses are the main cause of low yield of crops in the world. Among abiotic stresses, salinity is a world-wide problem. This problem is particularly serious in arid & semiarid regions of the world where most of the developing countries happen to fall. Salinity causes not only differences between the mean yield and the potential yield, but also causes yield reduction from year to year. It affects the plant growth directly through its interaction with metabolic rates and pathways within the plant. Pearl millet grains are rich in fat, protein content (ranges from 12-20%) and...
