Excerpts: "During the last decade, there has been a renewed commitment to improve the nutritional value of major cereals and millets. This involves a comprehensive approach that includes an enhanced understanding of genetic diversity for grain nutrients in the germplasm collections, crop improvement efforts such as biofortification using conventional and advanced genomic approaches, advancements in food processing, value addition, considerations of nutrient bioavailability, and rigorous testing for food safety and quality." ... "In conclusion, the exploration of cereals and millets as essential and important sources of nutrients is critical in addressing global challenges such as food insecurity and hidden hunger. The studies featured in this Research Topic underscore the importance of biofortification and genetic enhancement to elevate the nutritional value of grains like pearl millet/sorghum/small millets."
