Foxtail Millet Breeding in China

2016
Although there is a long history of foxtail millet cultivation in China, modern foxtail millet breeding was only initiated in China in the 1950s and 1960s, with significant progress being made since the 1980s. Most of the research on foxtail millet breeding has been conducted in China, where it is an important regional cereal.

STABILITY OF YIELD IN FOXTAIL MILLET

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1990
Variety x environmental components was highly significant indicating differential response of varieties over environments in foxtall millets. Stability analysis indicated SIA-9, Arjun and Co 5 had better adaptation to unfavourable environment while SLA 2566 and SLA 326 had high performance and adapted to favourable conditions.

A novel antifungal peptide from foxtail millet seeds

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUND: Antifungal proteins (AFP) help plants to combat phytopathogenic fungi and thus protect plants from the devastating damage caused by fungal infections and prevent massive economic losses. To date, several proteins with antibacterial and/or antifungal properties have been isolated and characterized from different plant species and ...

Cultivating Proso/Foxtail Millet

2019
When the frost disappears, early-sowing proso/foxtail millet should be sown in the first week of the third month. Late-sowing proso/foxtail millet should be sown between the second week of the third month and the first week of the fourth month, select fields mixed with half fine sand and half black dirt.

Phytoliths in Chinese foxtail millet (Setaria italica)

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2015
Abstract Increasingly, archeologists are realizing that early agriculturalists manipulated suites of plant species as they contended with environmental instability and cultural performance. Studying these complex interactions requires robust diagnostic indicators for each species. This has been particularly difficult for millet macrobotanical remains

Why no tetraploid cultivar of foxtail millet?

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2004
Autotetraploid material was induced by colchicine treatment of a pure line of foxtail millet and an interspecific hybrid between foxtail millet and giant green foxtail. Compared with diploid material, tetraploids were smaller, flowered later, and had a two-fold reduced fertility (number of grain per cm of spike).

Origin and Domestication of Foxtail Millet

2016
Among the more than 100 species in Setaria, S. macrostachya, S. pumila, and foxtail millet (S. italica) cereals were domesticated by human beings. However, only foxtail millet became a worldwide crop, contributing greatly to the development of Chinese civilization and remaining as a staple cereal in arid and semi-arid regions.

Microwave Assisted De-husking of Foxtail Millet

Journal of Agricultural Engineering (India), 2018
A study was conducted to determine the effect of microwave pre-treatment on de-husking characteristics and quality parameters of foxtail millet. Foxtail millet was treated at three microwave power levels (900 W, 720 W and 540 W) for three different exposure time (120 s, 100 s and 80 s).

Cryopreservation of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.)

1995
There are about 125 species of Setaria (Gramineae), but only few of them are important for food production. One of the most important species, foxtail millet (Setaria italica L., chromosome number: 2n = 18), is cultivated in both the old and New World for hay, pasture, and as a cereal.
