Abstract Setaria italica (foxtail millet), a founder crop of East Asian agriculture, is model plant for C4 photosynthesis and developing approaches to adaptive breeding across multiple climates. Here we established the pan-genome by assembling 110 representative genomes from worldwide collection. The composed 73,528 gene families, which 23.8%, 42.9%, 29.4% 3.9% are core, soft dispensable private genes, respectively; 202,884 nonredundant structural variants were also detected....
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), one of the oldest crops originating in China, has increasingly been recognized as a promising C4 model plant due to its compact diploid genome, short growth cycle and self-pollinating nature (Li Brutnell, 2011). In past 5 years, significant breakthroughs have achieved basic research breeding, including high efficient transformation system establishment, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly, pan-genome analysis functional studies (He et al., 2023; Tang...
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for vascular plant growth. Both B deficiency and toxicity can impair tissue development in diverse species, but little known about the effect of on reproductive panicle grain yield. In this study, a mutant Setaria italica exhibiting necrotic apices was identified designated as sibor1. Sequencing revealed candidate gene, SiBOR1, with G-to-A alteration at seventh exon. Knockout transgenic lines generated by clustered regularly interspaced short...
Summary Phytochromes play vital roles in the regulation of flowering time, but little is known Panicoideae species, especially C 4 model Setaria. Here, genomic variations PHYTOCHROME (PHYC) between wild and cultivated Setaria gene pools were analysed three SiphyC mutants identified. The function SiPHYC was verified by CRISPR‐Cas9 approach transcriptome sequencing. Furthermore, efficiency indoor cultivation systematically evaluated. An extreme purified selection PHYC detected to domestication...
