14-3-3 proteins are a large multigenic family of regulatory proteins ubiquitously found in eukaryotes. In plants, 14-3-3 proteins are reported to play significant role in both development and response to stress stimuli. Therefore, considering their importance, genome-wide analyses have been performed in many plants including Arabidopsis, rice and soybean. But, till date, no comprehensive invest...

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis along the leaf developmental gradient of sigma factor gene family in foxtail millet (Setaria italica)Hongyun Liu, Jinjin Cheng, Siyuan Hui Fan , Bo Wen Zheng Liu

Antioxidants are primarily responsible for the beneficial health effects of foxtail millet. This study evaluated a foxtail-millet-based composite antioxidant nutritive flour consisting fermented millet, coarse grains, and fruit powders. The composition was optimized, it found to be rich in nutrients, such as phenolics (2.27 g/100 g), vitamin C (0.21 polysaccharides (0.35 g). results revealed th...

The NAC proteins represent a major plant-specific transcription factor family that has established enormously diverse roles in various plant processes. Aided by the availability of complete genomes, several members of this family have been identified in Arabidopsis, rice, soybean and poplar. However, no comprehensive investigation has been presented for the recently sequenced, naturally stress ...

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is cultivated around the world for human and animal consumption. There is no suitable herbicide available for weed control in foxtail millet fields during the post-emergence stage. In this study, we investigated the effect and safety of the post-emergence herbicide tribenuron-methyl (TBM) on foxtail millet in terms of grain yield and quality using a split-plo...

Foxtail millet is one of the common millets used for multiple purposes in India. It contains a good amount fiber along with other nutrients and thus serves as digesting aid. Because its diversified benefits, foxtail has wide range applications bakery, brewery, beverage industries. The application novel thermal technologies to maintain improve nutritional quality characteristics great importance...

The introduction of Enlist E3 soybean allows growers to use postemergence (POST) applications low-volatile formulations 2,4-D choline (Enlist One) for in-season control glyphosate-resistant weeds. POST One and glyphosate (Roundup PowerMax) mixture can be tank-mixed with clethodim (Select Max) or quizalofop (Assure II) both grass broadleaf weed control. However, reduced species has previously be...

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...

The commercial release of transgenicmaizewith resistance to rootworms incorporated with glyphosate tolerance has become a reality, and questions have arisen regarding the impact of grassy weed phenology on the biology of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte. A study to determine the impact of host plant phenology on the survivorship (percentage larval recovery), gro...
