ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) have been reported to function in diverse physiological and molecular activities. Recent evidences also demonstrate the involvement of ARFs in conferring tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plant species. In the present study, 23 and 25 ARF proteins were identified in C3 model- rice and C4 model- foxtail millet, respectively. These proteins are classified...

Abstract. Millet agriculture, i.e., broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) and foxtail (Setaria italica), initially originated in northern China provided the basis for emergence of first state Central Plains. However, owing to lack a comprehensive archaeobotanical dataset, when, where, how these two types evolved across different regions periods remains unclear. Here, we presented dataset macrore...

inhibiting subtilisin BPN'. This paper describes purification and characterization of a subtilisin inhibitor (FMSI) from foxtail millet grain. Protein was measured by the method of Lowry et al.2) using bovine serum albumin as a standard. Protein concentrations of enzyme solutions were measured spectrophotometrically with extinction coefficients as described previously.3) The concentration of St...

Foxtail millet is an important crop in Northwest China; however, the mechanism responsible for regulating root adjustment, including water uptake, sugar transport, or metabolism, foxtail remains unclear. Two cultivars (the drought-resistant Yugu1 [YG] and drought-sensitive An04 [An]) were used to detect physiological, molecular, agronomic traits under two different soil conditions. Water use ef...
