Functional characterization of the SiFPGS2 gene of foxtail millet in folate accumulation and root development
The folate content of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is higher than that of other major crops. Polyglutamylation of folate can enhance its compartmentalization, reduce its transport, increase its affinities wit...

Exogenous salicylic acid enhanced resistance of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica) to Sclerospora graminicola
To ward off pathogens, plants establish innate immunity system in which salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role. The downy mildew of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is an oomycete disease caused by biotrophi...

Exogenous application of salicylic acid enhanced the rutin accumulation and influenced the expression patterns of rutin biosynthesis related genes in Fagopyrum tartaricum Gaertn leaves
Except for buckwheat, no cereal or pseudocereal contains any detectable rutin. This study was carried out to compare the rutin content in leaves treated with various concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) (50 mg l
