Reference Genome for the Highly Transformable Setaria viridis ME034V [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Setaria viridis (green foxtail) is an important model system for improving cereal crops due to its diploid genome, ease of cultivation, and use of C4 photosynthesis. The S.

Expression of a CO2-permeable aquaporin enhances mesophyll conductance in the C4 species Setaria viridis [PDF]
eLife, 2021 A fundamental limitation of photosynthetic carbon fixation is the availability of CO2. In C4 plants, primary carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cytosol, and little is known about the role of CO2 diffusion in facilitating C4 photosynthesis.

Roles of Aquaporins in Setaria viridis Stem Development and Sugar Storage. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2016 Setaria viridis is a C4 grass used as a model for bioenergy feedstocks. The elongating internodes in developing S. viridis stems grow from an intercalary meristem at the base, and progress acropetally toward fully expanded cells that store sugar.

Neural Net Classification Combined With Movement Analysis to Evaluate Setaria viridis as a Model System for Time of Day of Anther Appearance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 In many plant species, the time of day at which flowers open to permit pollination is tightly regulated. Proper time of flower opening, or Time of Day of Anther Appearance (TAA), may coordinate flowering opening with pollinator activity or may shift ...

The Use of Maleic Hydrazide for Effective Hybridization of Setaria viridis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 An efficient method for crossing green foxtail (Setaria viridis) is currently lacking. S. viridis is considered to be the new model plant for the study of C4 system in monocots and so an effective crossing protocol is urgently needed. S.

Robust and Reproducible Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation System of the C4 Genetic Model Species Setaria viridis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Setaria viridis (green foxtail) has been identified as a potential experimental model system to genetically and molecularly characterise the C4 monocotyledonous grasses due to its small physical size, short generation time and prolific seed production ...

Shedding Light on the Dynamic Role of the “Target of Rapamycin” Kinase in the Fast-Growing C4 Species Setaria viridis, a Suitable Model for Biomass Crops [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The Target of Rapamycin (TOR) kinase pathway integrates energy and nutrient availability into metabolism promoting growth in eukaryotes. The overall higher efficiency on nutrient use translated into faster growth rates in C4 grass plants led to the ...
