Description
Reddy, Sravani, Venkateswarlu, Satyavathi, and Priya study how cytoplasm affects rancidity in pearl millet flour in twenty twenty-five. Pearl millet is nutritious and climate hardy, but its flour spoils fast. Fat breakdown by enzymes drives that spoilage. Whether the cell's cytoplasmic genome matters was less clear.
Sixty-four hybrids were grown at two locations from matched sterile and maintainer lines. Cytoplasm type did not change alcoholic acidity, a spoilage marker. It strongly changed the activity of three fat degrading enzymes. The sterile cytoplasm raised all three enzymes, favouring faster rancidity. Three hybrid backgrounds bucked that trend with low enzyme activity. The authors urge breeders to weigh cytoplasm choice in millet programs.
