And again, thanking Dr. Mani for appearing live on a webcast at such a late hour in his time zone in India. This webinar ran a full half hour longer than our usual program calls for, so you may want to watch it in segments. After the intros, Dr. Mani went first, with "Proso Millet Genetic Resources Conservation and Research" (start time, 4:31), and some discussion followed. Prof. Santra then followed, with "Proso Millet Breeding and Genetics Research in the USA" (start time, 40:18), and again, there was some discussion afterwards. Again, the NAMA YouTube channel, still very young, is at https://www.youtube.com/@MilletsAlliance<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=youtube.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vQE1pbGxldHNBbGxpYW5jZQ==&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=em9jOUFjeUtraWJNeGZkVnZCSzNqSFhLVktVa003UG5VS0QyaWFVeGR6UT0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ> DO, EL, MI, US NAMA On Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 1:50 PM Joni Kindwall-Moore <joni@snacktivistfoods.com<mailto:joni@snacktivistfoods.com>> wrote: Hi Sergio, Yes, it is recorded and we will put it up on the YouTube Channel soon.

It has been so hard. I wish that the world could see the folly in this shortsighted investment thesis for our food system. Thanks again for your contribution today to this fantastic webinar. See you next week! I would also like to discuss some waxy proso items. thanks On Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 9:33 AM Dipak Santra via Collab <collab@lists.millets2023.space<mailto:collab@lists.millets2023.space>> wrote: Thank you, Don and Joni for the opportunity to present my work.

His program works on cultivar and germplasm development of existing alternative crops and developing new crops for semi-arid High Plains region. He has organized international conferences on proso (aka broomcorn) millet and millets in general. On Thursday, he will discuss "Proso Millet Breeding and Genetics Research in the USA." Dr. Mani's primary focus at ICRISAT's Genebank revolves around strategizing and conducting germplasm research to enhance the efficiency of conserving and utilizing this valuable collection. He has specialized in plant genetic resources, primarily focusing on eight dryland millets: sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, barnyard millet, kodo millet, and little millet. He will present on "Proso Millet Genetic Resources Conservation and Research." Please join us for insights into genetic resources of one of the most widely-cultivated millets, and how they're being used in crop breeding: ────────── Zoom Meeting, Thurs. 20 Feb., 11 am EST / 8 am PST https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87650498139?pwd=FcrFFyWmg1NOt916ykQzyNlfwbN2UD.1<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=urldefense.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly91cmxkZWZlbnNlLmNvbS92My9fX2h0dHBzOi91czA2d2ViLnpvb20udXMvai84NzY1MDQ5ODEzOT9wd2Q9RmNyRkZ5V21nMU5PdDkxNnlrUXp5Tmxmd2JOMlVELjFfXzshIVB2WHVvZ1o0c1JCMnAtdFUhR3pfT01sQmJPVldOZ21vNHo5emxIZVpac2k5RTViNnA2WkViWXp6dGZ4Zk9mNk9xUEhfSjM0TUFoTVQwaERIb04yTHNGNGctNnd1MFo4YWEwQSQ=&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=NFA4TFdGNnJlM28yajRKVWJPRTRpd1ptQ0tNTHBXV21INVNGNGl6RXhhOD0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ> Meeting ID: 876 5049 8139 Passcode: 423770 --- One tap mobile +16694449171,,87650498139#,,,,*423770# US +16699006833,,87650498139#,,,,*423770# US (San Jose) --- Dial by your location • +1 669 444 9171 US • +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) • +1 719 359 4580 US • +1 253 205 0468 US • +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) • +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) • +1 386 347 5053 US • +1 507 473 4847 US • +1 564 217 2000 US • +1 646 931 3860 US • +1 689 278 1000 US • +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) • +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) • +1 305 224 1968 US • +1 309 205 3325 US • +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) • +1 360 209 5623 US Meeting ID: 876 5049 8139 Passcode: 423770 Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kdojpyl4h4<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=urldefense.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly91cmxkZWZlbnNlLmNvbS92My9fX2h0dHBzOi91czA2d2ViLnpvb20udXMvdS9rZG9qcHlsNGg0X187ISFQdlh1b2daNHNSQjJwLXRVIUd6X09NbEJiT1ZXTmdtbzR6OXpsSGVaWnNpOUU1YjZwNlpFYll6enRmeGZPZjZPcVBIX0ozNE1BaE1UMGhESG9OMkxzRjRnLTZ3dU9maUs2ZUEk&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=L0xxbzNmcHBvRVVkbEFuQ3hLN3dSZzcxQVhsNDU2bnh4NlRBTUljWk1mTT0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ> ────────── Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance -- Collab mailing list Collab@lists.millets2023.space<mailto:Collab@lists.millets2023.space> https://lists.millets2023.space/mailman/listinfo/collab<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=millets2023.space&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9saXN0cy5taWxsZXRzMjAyMy5zcGFjZS9tYWlsbWFuL2xpc3RpbmZvL2NvbGxhYg==&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=VEFPLzdMTnNXV1pRNlNxZ1NIMFlGaWFBZVlibERTREFaT0NBRkNxTU81Yz0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ> -- Collab mailing list Collab@lists.millets2023.space<mailto:Collab@lists.millets2023.space> https://lists.millets2023.space/mailman/listinfo/collab<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=millets2023.space&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9saXN0cy5taWxsZXRzMjAyMy5zcGFjZS9tYWlsbWFuL2xpc3RpbmZvL2NvbGxhYg==&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=VEFPLzdMTnNXV1pRNlNxZ1NIMFlGaWFBZVlibERTREFaT0NBRkNxTU81Yz0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ> -- Collab mailing list Collab@lists.millets2023.space<mailto:Collab@lists.millets2023.space> https://lists.millets2023.space/mailman/listinfo/collab<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=millets2023.space&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9saXN0cy5taWxsZXRzMjAyMy5zcGFjZS9tYWlsbWFuL2xpc3RpbmZvL2NvbGxhYg==&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=VEFPLzdMTnNXV1pRNlNxZ1NIMFlGaWFBZVlibERTREFaT0NBRkNxTU81Yz0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ> -- Collab mailing list Collab@lists.millets2023.space<mailto:Collab@lists.millets2023.space> https://lists.millets2023.space/mailman/listinfo/collab<https://ap-south-1.protection.sophos.com?d=millets2023.space&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9saXN0cy5taWxsZXRzMjAyMy5zcGFjZS9tYWlsbWFuL2xpc3RpbmZvL2NvbGxhYg==&p=m&i=NjVlZWRmOWFkNDlmODU3ODBjMDBkOGI0&t=VEFPLzdMTnNXV1pRNlNxZ1NIMFlGaWFBZVlibERTREFaT0NBRkNxTU81Yz0=&h=4350c9e17b974100bd6639bac52f3d95&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaGEVLvaVheC6yXvVUlx5M3bTWVl4FCgOVtJYRj780-EQ>
