Millets as Superfood: Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Applications presents a timely and exhaustive analysis of these ancient grains that are quickly evolving as the foods of the future. Traditionally valued for their adaptability and endurance in harsh climates and minimal-input farming, millets are now being recognized worldwide as nutrient-dense, climate-smart superfoods with tremendous potential to enhance food security and sustainable agriculture.

This book delivers a unique blend of traditional knowledge and cutting-edge science. It unravels the biochemical richness of millets—vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds—while assessing their proven health benefits. Together, it highlights modern biotechnological interventions, including CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing, molecular breeding, and omics technologies that are revolutionizing millet research. Readers will also observe the growing economic and industrial uses of millets, from nutraceuticals and functional foods to biofortification and value-added processing transformations.

Written and edited by globally recognized experts, this volume is tailored for a wide readership. For students and researchers, it presents extensive scientific analyses and practical implementations; for policymakers and entrepreneurs, it reveals the economic, social, and ecological promise of millets in rising world markets.

This is not just a book about grains—it is a roadmap to healthier diets, sustainable farming, and a resilient future.

Sadhana Singh is working as an Assistant Professor, School of Sciences, U.P. Rajarshi Tandon Open University (UPRTOU), Prayagraj, India. She has completed her PhD in Plant Biotechnology, from Bharathiar University (DRDO-BU Centre for Life Sciences), Coimbatore, (TN), India. She did her post-doctoral research from International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, India. Her research interests include—plant stress tolerance (model and non-model); molecular regulations controlling plant abiotic stresses; role of NAC genes towards abiotic stress tolerance; transcriptional profiling of stress responsive genes (RAN, NAC, GPAT); identification and characterization of candidate genes in semi-arid legumes against legumes against drought; role of NAC genes towards cold/salt/drought/response, biomass enhancement, carbon trapping and sequestration, etc., using functional genomics approach (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and genome editing). She has published over 20 research/review articles in peer-reviewed international journals in addition to many book chapters (Wiley; Springer) on essential aspects of plant biotechnology and plant stress tolerance. She has been serving as a reviewer of many reputed journals that include—Functional and Integrative Genomics; Genes; 3 Biotech; Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants; Plant Signaling and Behavior; Molecular Biology Reports; G3: Genes | Genomes | Genetics; Frontiers in Plant Science; Scientific Reports; Forests; Agriculture; Plant Biotechnology Reports; BMC Genomics; BMC Plant Biology; and International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Additionally, she is also an editor of the Frontiers in Genome Editing (Review Editor); Genomics of Plants and the Phytoecosystems (Guest Associate Editor), Biotechnology and Bioinformatics (Mediterranean Journals). She has been the recipient of several awards and honours that include—National Post Doc Fellowship, DST-SERB, India. She has also been invited to Webinars as a panelist and speaker for [IECPS 2024] SESSION F. Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology on the Title—CRISPR/Cas-Mediated Genome Editing in Legumes on 16 January 2024 (MDPI). In short, she works as a vibrant, self-governing expert/scientist to connect her knowledge towards designing stress-smart, better-quality, and high yielding varieties of crop plants.

Santosh Kumar Upadhyay has been working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India for more than 10 years. After completing his doctoral work at the CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow, he served as DST-INSPIRE Faculty at the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute, Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, Mohali, for one and half years. Thereafter, he has been serving as an Assistant Professor at Panjab University (PU). He is currently working on the area of functional genomics using various computational approaches. During his doctoral research, he was involved in the characterization of various insect toxic proteins, such as lectins, chitin-binding proteins, etc., from plant biodiversity. Currently, his research group at PU has characterized numerous important cation transporters including calcium cation antiporters, monovalent cation transporters, calcium ATPases, and important defence-related protein families such as receptor-like kinases, anti-oxidant enzymes, etc., of bread wheat. They are also characterizing long non-coding RNAs related to the abiotic and biotic stress responses. He has also demonstrated the method of genome editing in bread wheat and potato using the CRISPR-Cas system for functional genomics studies and developed a tool SSFinder for CRISPR target site prediction. He has authored more than 100 publications including research papers in leading journals of international repute, national and international patents, book chapters, and books. In recognition of his strong credentials and contributions, he has been awarded the NAAS Young Scientist Award (2017–18) and NAAS-Associate (2018) from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India, INSA Medal for Young Scientist (2013) from the Indian National Science Academy, India, NASI- Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award (2012) from the National Academy of Sciences, India, and Alltech Young Scientist Award (2011). He has also been the recipient of the prestigious DSTINSPIRE Faculty Fellowship (2012), and SERB-Early Career Research Award, (2016) from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, and several research grants from various funding agencies like SERB, DBT, CSIR, etc. He also serves as a member of the editorial board and reviewer of many peer-reviewed international journals.

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
