Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), a drought-resistant cereal crop, is nutritionally valued for its carotenoid-rich kernels that significantly influence both commercial quality and health benefits. While carotenoid content and kernel pigmentation are known to be affected by genotype and environment, the mechanisms governing these relationships remain unclear. This study systematically examined the...
