Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is an important food crop with strong drought stress tolerance. The response of foxtail to a complex regulatory network. It great guiding significance for agricultural production continuously explore candidate genes resistance and reveal the molecular mechanism metabolic pathway This study investigated three different cultivars resistance. Drought reduced wat...

Ecological selection forces for weedy and domesticated traits have influenced the evolution of seed shape in Setaria resulting in similarity in seed shape that reflects similarity in ecological function rather than reflecting phylogenetic relatedness. Seeds from two diploid subspecies of Setaria viridis, consisting of one weedy subspecies and two races of the domesticated subspecies, and four o...

The introduction of the cultivation millets (Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica) along Iberia’s Mediterranean zone appears to stem from different origins which themselves hinged on their own specific historical developments. earliest traces in northeast, presumably trans-Pyrenean origin, were brought light Bronze Age contexts (13th century BC) Western Catalonia, notably Cinca River Valley. s...

Foxtail millet (FM) [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.] is a grain and forage crop well adapted to nutrient-poor soils. To date little is known how FM adapts to low nitrogen (LN) at the morphological, physiological, and molecular levels. Using the FM variety Yugu1, we found that LN led to lower chlorophyll contents and N concentrations, and higher root/shoot and C/N ratios and N utilization efficienc...
