Abstract excerpt
Drought is the primary factor contributing to crop yield loss. Therefore, enhancing the drought tolerance of foxtail millet, a globally significant food crop, is essential for ensuring global food security. We analyzed 425 foxtail millet samples from the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences using 1,304,248 highly polymorphic SNPs for a genome-wide association study, and a total of 77 QTL regions were...
