Identification of a QTL for Setaria italica bristle length using QTL-seq
Long bristles facilitate seed dispersal and protect seeds from herbivores. Early domesticated Setaria italica cultivars had long bristles, but most of the modern cultivars have short bristles. Little is known abo...

Setaria italica SiWRKY89 enhances drought tolerance in Arabidopsis
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a drought-tolerant plant, is grown in drylands all over the world. However, the molecular basis of drought tolerance in S. italica is not yet understood. Previously, we comprehen...

Rhizosphere soil microbial communities under foxtail millet continuous and rotational crop** systems and their feedback effects on foxtail millet downy mildew suppression
Foxtail millet downy mildew caused by obligate parasitic Oomycetes Sclerospora graminicola (Sac.) Schrot greatly reduces the foxtail millet yield. The purpose of this study was to find the specific bacterial and ...

Fine map** of qPH9, a major quantitative trait locus, responsible for plant height in foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.]
Plant height is vital for crop yield by influencing plant architecture and resistance to lodging. Although lots of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling plant height had been mapped in foxtail millet, the...
