Journal Article
Teklu, D., Gashu, D., Joy, E. J. M., Bailey, E. H., Wilson, L., Amede, T., & Broadley, M. R. (2024). Differences in the nutritional quality of improved finger millet genotypes in Ethiopia. Scientific Reports, 14(1), Article 460. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-48749-3

Improved crop genotypes are constantly introduced. However, information on their nutritional quality is generally limited. The present study reports the proximate composition and the concentration and relative bioavailability of minerals of improved...
