Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis was applied to samples of foxtail millet and its wild ancestor and other close relatives of the genus Setaria in order to detect domestication-related geographical structure and phylogenetic relationship of those species. Eighty-one accessions of nine Set...

YABBY genes are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) that function in plant growth and development. We investigated the functions of the YABBY genes in plants’ stress tolerance by analyzing the YABBY genes in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and studying their functions on plant growth and r...

Blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea results in significant yield losses of cereal crops across the world. To date, very few regulatory genes contributing to blast resistance in grass species have been identified and the genetic basis of blast resistance in cereals remains elusive....

As selenium and carotenoids are essential micronutrients, the determination of their concentrations in different varieties is important in the breeding of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. P. Beauv.). To identify selenium- and carotenoid-enriched foxtail millet varieties and to analyze correlations...

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a specialty mixed grain crop that originated in China. This study comprehensively assessed the phenotypic variability of 1,558 foxtail millet accessions to explore their genetic diversity and facilitate effective germplasm conservation. A total of 25 traits, inclu...

Breeding of male-sterile lines has become the mainstream for the heterosis utilization in foxtail millet, but the genetic basis of most male-sterile lines used for the hybrid is still an area to be elucidated. In this study, a highly male-sterile line Gao146A was investigated. Genetic analysis indic...
