Minor millets consist of a group of small seeded cereal species that are genetically diverse and adapted in varied range of agro-climatic conditions where major cereals such as rice, wheat and maize were relatively uneconomical. Millets played an important role in traditional farming and food culture in many developing countries like South Asian and African countries. Minor millets include fingermillet (Eleusine coracana L.), foxtailmillet (Setaria italica L.) Beauv), prosomillet (Panicum miliaceum L.), kodomillet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.), barnyardmillet (Echinochloa frumentacea Roxb., Link) and littlemillet (Panicum sumatrense Roth.ex Roem. and Schultz).
