The present study was carried out with one hundred genotypes of foxtail millet procured from ICRISAT mini core collection (Upadhyaya et al., 2011) for Lysine content. The range of values for these parameters ranged from respectively, ISe 1610 ( of protein) recorded least amount of Lysine whereas ISe 1187 recorded highest amount of Lysine ( of protein). The study also reveals great variability existing among the collection of Italian millet accessions for Lysine that can be exploited to improve the cultivars to meet the nutritional requirements of humans. |
