Setaria viridis and S.italica make up a model grass system to
investigate C4 photosynthesis, cell wall biosynthesis, responses to
drought, herbicide, and other environmental stressors, genome
dynamics, developmental genetics and morphology, and interactions
with microorganisms. 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. Its
domesticated variant, S. italica (foxtail millet), is a
drought-hardy cereal grown in China, India and Africa, and new
breeding techniques show great potential for improving yields and
nutrition for drought-prone regions. This book brings together for
the first time evolutionary, genomic, genetic, and morphological
analyses, together with protocols for growing and transforming
Setaria, and approaches to high throughput genotyping and candidate
gene analysis. Authors include major Setaria researchers from both
the USA and overseas.
