Setaria is a widespread genus of plants in the grass family. [5][6] The name is derived from the Latin word seta, meaning "bristle" or "hair", which refers to the bristly spikelets. [7]

Jun 1, 2024 · Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is a grain crop widely grown in Asia with particular significance in semi-arid regions of Northern China. Setaria-db focus on integrating reference genomes, genomic variations, germplasms and multi-omics data of foxtail millet and establishing their relations to assist the foxtail millet community for better ...

Jun 8, 2023 · Setaria italica (foxtail millet), a founder crop of East Asian agriculture, is a model plant for C4 photosynthesis and developing approaches to adaptive breeding across multiple climates. Here...

Setaria is a true tufted tropical grass. Cultivars have been selected for tolerance of drought, waterlogging, salinity and frost. It probably tolerates hard grazing and slashing better than most other tufted tropical grasses. Setaria does decline in palatability with leaf maturity.

Dec 29, 2023 · 为了充分利用这些数据，加快谷子基础研究，本研究构建了谷子第一个真正意义的综合性数据库Setaria-db (www.setariadb.com/millet)。该数据库包含了Yugu1-T2T基因组、110个泛基因组、1844个变异组、312个代谢组和转录组、野生种（A10）、农家种（Ci846）和栽培 …

Oct 13, 2015 · Setaria is numerically one of the largest and most taxonomically complex genera of the tribe Paniceae. The currently published phylogenies of Setaria are not fully resolved and some of the resulting clades reveal more geographical signals than morphological affinities.

Setaria viridis (green foxtail) is one of the world’s most widespread weeds, and its small size, native variation, rapidly burgeoning genetic and genomic resources, and transformability are making it the system of choice for both basic research and its translation into crop improvement.

Feb 5, 2024 · Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and its wild ancestor green foxtail (S. viridis), are two C 4 genetic model plants known for their desirable traits, such as small size, short life cycle, ease of transformation, and a compact genome size (∼420 Mb) (He et al., 2023). Foxtail millet stands out as the only cultivated species within the Setaria ...

Jan 1, 2004 · Setaria is an extremely variable perennial grass with culms arising from short rhizomes, which in some morphotypes are elongated and creeping. Setaria is a polyploid complex ranging from diploid to decaploid. Setaria is recommended for overseeding into native vegetation in India to improve feeding value. Setaria is

Setaria, a genus of about 140 species, grows predominantly in tropical and warm-temperate regions, but it is particularly well-represented in Africa, Asia, and South America. Species from the Flora region fall into one of three categories: native to North America, native to South America, or native to the Eastern Hemisphere.
