Table 5. Biochemical adaptations to stress in millets.

Crop	Biochemical parameters	Plants adaptation mechanism	References
Finger millet and barnyard millet	MDA, proline, CAT, phenol and flavonoids	A significant increase in MDA, proline, CAT, phenol and flavonoids activity during stress condition in both the millets crop	[24]
Finger millet and barnyard millet	Protein, carbohydrates and amylase	Significant reduction in protein, carbohydrate and amylase content	[25]
Finger millet	Proline, MDA, electrolyte leakage, Hydrogen peroxide and antioxidant activities.	Significant accumulation of proline, MDA, electrolyte leakage, Hydrogen peroxide and increased antioxidant activities.	[16]
Finger millet	Proline, glycine betaine and TSS and antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT,APX, GPX)	Accumulation of Proline, glycine betaine and TSS and antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, APX, GPX) increased under stress.	[34]
Foxtail millet	TSS, proline, ABA and JA phytohormones	Significant increase in TSS,TSS, proline, ABA and JA phytohormones	[35]
Pearl Millet	Proline, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX) activities	Accumulation of Proline, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX) activities increased	[36]
Pearl Millet	ABA and water potential	Accumulated, higher ABA content while water potential decreased in stress condition	[37]
Pearl millet	Flavonoids, lignin, terpenoids	A higher accumulation of flavonoids, lignin and terpenoids under water stress condition	[38]
