Domestication of sorghum, pearl and finger millets started in Africa some 5000-6000 years ago while kodo, little and barnyard millets originated here and are called the heritage crops of India. When compared to C3 crops like wheat and rice, over these millennia millet physiology evolved to become climate resilient, covering biotic and abiotic stress. Millets belong to the group of plants termed 'C4' crops that evolved on their own 500 times. Their mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells make them photosynthetically efficient. They don't have any photo-respiratory loss. Millets don't require much fertilizer or rainfall. One or two irrigations are enough for them. Evolution also added to their pollen fertility and reproductive structure, the ability to withstand high temperatures and they have a mechanism called rapid drought escape. As soon as they sense the possibility of drought, they quicken their life cycle giving better yield compared to C3 crops. Travelling successfully through time, millets have innate nutritional qualities. Select one of the following statements that can serve as the most reliable conclusion drawn from the above information.
