Genome sequence of foxtail millet ( Setaria italica ) provides insights into grass evolution and biofuel potential
2012
Completion of genome sequences for the diploid Setaria italica reveals features of C4 photosynthesis that could enable improvement of the polyploid biofuel crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). The genetic basis of biotechnologically relevant traits, including drought tolerance, photosynthetic efficiency and flowering control, is also highlighted.
