This document summarizes the inflorescence, flowers, seed formation, and seed parts of pearl millet plants. It describes that pearl millet has a panicle inflorescence that can take different shapes and contains spikelets with 2-4 flowers. Each flower has staminate and hermaphrodite forms. Pollination occurs through the wind and is protogynous. Seeds form in a caryopsis and vary in shape, color, and size depending on their position in the panicle. Seed development progresses through stages until maturity.

physiology of flowering in tropical and dry land fruit cropJignasa
flowering is the essential event in any crop and its physiology different among plants. so, i hope this presentation is helpful to every viewer in understanding of physiology of flowering in tropical and dry land fruit crops
From the forgoing presentation, it can be concluded that breeding characters viz., flowering period, inflorescence, time of flower opening, time of anther dehiscence, time of stigma receptivity, pollinating agent ,time of visitor of pollinating agent and fruit set (%) in tropical species are required to be studied as they are vital for any improvement and eco-environmental planning purposes. It also throws light on how species adopts itself along with the phenomenon of speciation and reproductive isolation. From these characters we can introduce new variety which is essential for further evaluation and also the identification of the interactions between biological factors, such as animal, plant species, and non-biological factors, like temperature, RH, rain and wind, helps us to elaborate management and conservation plans for the ecosystems of the planet, which have become more and more necessary due to highly increased rate of deterioration of different ecosystems during the last few decades.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Inflorescence, Flower, Flower structures, Mode of Pollination, Seed fromation and Seed parts of Pearl millet plant
1. Inflorescence, Flower, Flower structures, Mode of Pollination,
Seed fromation and Seed parts of Pearl millet plant
Name: Atif Ur Rahman
Class no: 248
Assingment no: 1
Submitted to: Dr. Inamullah Khan
2. Pearl Millet
Botanical Name : Pennisetum Glaucum
Family : Poaceae
Subfamily: Panicoideae
Tribe : Paniceae
Subtribe : Panicinae
Section : Panicillaria
Genus : Pennisetum
Species : Glaucum
5. Inflorescence consists of a central rachis
covered with soft/short hairs and bears
fascicles on rachillae. The density of fascicles
and the length of rachillae determine the
degree of compaction of the panicle. Each
fascicle contains spikelets surrounded by a
wall of bristles (i.e., involucre). The
prolongation of the fascicle axis determines
the length of bristles.
6. Flower of Pearl Millet
A spikelet may contain 2-4 flowers or florets, but generally two. The
lower floret is staminate and the upper floret is bisexual or
hermaphrodite .
. Staminate and hermaphrodite flowers
Staminate Hermaphrodite
14. Mode of Pollination
Pearl millet is a protogynous species. The styles start protruding two to
three days after the emergence of the panicle. The stylar branches
protrude first from the florets in the upper middle region of the panicle
and then proceed both up and downwards. In the hermaphrodite
flowers, the stigmas emerge earlier than the anthers and hence stigmas
receive pollen from inflorescence of other plants. The time required for
complete stigma emergence varies from 2 to 3 days and they remain
receptive for next two to three days .
Stigma emergence Fresh stigma
16. Pollination in pearl millet
By the time anther emergence commences, the stigma would have
emerged and also pollinated, avoiding selfing. The emergence of the
first anther usually begins about three to four days after the first
stigma has emerged. The anther emergence occurs in two phases. The
first phase involves solely the hermaphrodite flowers, and the second
phase includes the staminate flowers. When the first phase of the
emergence of anthers has reached the basal spikelets, the second
phase begins when the staminate flowers are functional from the
upper part of the panicle. A panicle continues shedding pollen for
about 3 days. The anther emergence continues throughout the day
and night. The anthesis occurs between 8 am and 2 pm with a peak at
about 10 am. The increase in humidity and a decrease in temperature
have been noted to reduce anther emergence, while lowering of
humidity and a rise in temperature enhances up the anthesis.
17. Pearl millet is a highly cross-pollinated species. Wind is supposed to be the major cross
pollinating agent. However, insects also effect cross pollination. Protogyny and the time
lag between stigma emergence and anther dehiscence favor cross pollination, but
asynchronous flowering prevents its full realization.
Anthers emergence Dehiscence After pollination Complete pollination
Anther emergence and pollination
18. Seed formation
Pearl millet seed is a caryopsis and its shape is highly variable, ranging from globular to
conical shape. The seed colour varies from ivory to purplish black, with light to deep gray
being the most common seed colour. A small embryo is present on the depressed or flat
surface at the tapering end of the seed. The size of the grain depends on its position in the
panicle, being largest at the base, medium in the middle, and smallest at the apex. Variations
exist in grain size among varieties generally ranging from 4-12 g per 1000 grains.
