| Description: | Barnyard millet, a significant minor millet crop in Asia, is cultivated for human and animal food. It's resilient to biotic and abiotic stress and offers valuable minerals, fiber, and carbohydrates. Despite its advantages, it hasn't received much research attention, and there are limited genome-wide datasets. We've created a draft genome assembly for the development of SSR markers. |
