About
Sateesh Kagale is interested in promoting millets globally, and particularly in popularising them in North America, through training, policy support and farmer support.
Millets track record
Over the past seven years his team has developed genomic and genetic resources for millets, focusing mainly on little millet, and has published two articles on the crop: Gali, K. K., et al. (2025). "Little millet genome reveals evolutionary insights into tetraploid structure and genetic basis of micronutrient density." Nature Communications 17(1): 74. Pahari, S., et al. (2024). "Nutri-cereal tissue-specific transcriptome atlas during development: functional integration of gene expression to identify mineral uptake pathways in little millet (Panicum sumatrense)." The Plant Journal 119(1): 577-594.
