Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drought tolerance is an important breeding objective for improving the yield of cereal crops. Identifying key drought-tolerant loci/genes from Setaria viridis and Setaria italica is essential for enhancing the yield and stress resistance of foxtail millet via molecular breeding technologies. RESULTS: Here, an interspecific recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was constructed by crossing the S....
