Foxtail and Barnyard Millets

2016
Millets comprise group of crops which can play a major role in achieving the goal of nutritional security through diversification of diets in spite that these are generally grown in marginal and infertile lands. Compared to major cereals, millets provide carbohydrates, protein, minerals, dietary fibre, vitamins and various functional molecules to the ...

Foxtail Millet: An Introduction

2017
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is a versatile crop known for being genetically closely related to biofuel grasses, for its C4 photosynthesis, and for its tolerance to abiotic stresses. These attributes have made this crop a model system and, in view of this, the genome of foxtail millet has been sequenced. Among millets, foxtail millet is the only

SACCHARIDES IN PROSO AND FOXTAIL MILLETS

Journal of Food Science, 1978
ABSTRACT The saccharide composition of 8 samples of proso and foxtail millets was determined. Sucrose was the major saccharide followed by raffinose. Glucose, fructose, and galactose were present only in trace amounts. Myo‐inositol was found in small amounts in some of the samples. Maltose and maltotriose were not detected.

Breeding Strategies in Foxtail Millet

2017
Foxtail millet is a highly self-pollinated crop, and the small delicate flowers make hybridization and crossing difficult. Progress in crop improvement of foxtail millet has been achieved chiefly through pedigree selection in many parts of the globe. China has been pioneering in developing male sterile lines and yield gains through heterosis. Many male

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.

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.

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).

Registration of ‘Canggu 5’ Foxtail Millet

Journal of Plant Registrations, 2016
Summer foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.] is widely grown in the northern part of China, especially in Hebei Province, where it accounts for one‐fourth of the country's producing areas. A winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–summer foxtail millet–winter wheat rotation is a typical practice, so early maturity of foxtail millet is critical in ...

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.
