In the present study, finger millet (Eleusine coracana) grains of variety VL Mandua-315 were soaked overnight and germinated (25° ± 2°C) for varying time intervals ranging from 12 to 96 h. Samples were drawn at every 12 h interval, dried at 50° ± 2°C, deculmed, powdered and analysed for physicochemical composition, functional properties and mineral content. A significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in sugars, crude fibre, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activity and water solubility index and decrease (P ≤ 0.05) in starch, protein and ash was found with increase in germination time. Fat, total phenols and tannins reached their minimal value after 48 h of germination followed by a linear increase. Water absorption index, oil absorption index, foam capacity and foam stability decreased with soaking, followed by a linear increase up to 60 h of germination. Amongst all minerals tested, calcium showed a significant increase with increase in germination time. A clustered heat map was used to depict the effect of germination time on the overall properties of finger millet.Keywords

The present study deals with first-hand information on quantitative assessments of different vegetation layers (viz. trees, saplings, seedlings, shrubs and herbs) collected from 57 permanent plots (size 400 m2), established for long-term monitoring of biodiversity and study of functional aspects in Namdapha National Park (NPP), Arunachal Pradesh, Eastern Himalaya, India during 2017. We grouped all the plots into six clusters as study sites. A total of 60 taxa of trees, 67 shrubs and 81 herbs were recorded within 57 plots during the study. The average species richness per site for trees was 20.83 ± 1.62, saplings 16.0 ± 1.15, seedlings 15.83 ± 1.35, shrubs 23.83 ± 1.58 and herbs 32.67 ± 0.92. Total stem density varied from 117.5 to and 181 ha–1 (152.58 ± 10.04 ha–1) for trees (circumference m31.5 cm), 881 to 3000 ha–1 (1652.17 ± 317.61 ha–1) for shrubs and from 76750 to 98545 ha–1 (92032.17 ± 3246.60 ha–1) for herbs. Tree regeneration status at all the six study sites was ‘good’ (i.e. density of seedlings > saplings > trees). The distribution of tree stems (circumference m31.5 cm) into different size classes showed highest relative density in the lowest stem size class (10–20 cm diameter) which also indicates good tree regeneration in the study area. Dipterocarpus retusus Blume was the most dominant tree species in the core zone area of NNP with ‘good’ regeneration status.Keywords
