Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Multi-environment genome-wide association study (GWAS) and haplotype analysis identified a height-reducing WAK4 (SETIT_033071mg) haplotype as a promising target for plant height improvement in foxtail millet. Plant height is pivotal for plant architecture, harvestability, and yield potential in foxtail millet (Setaria italica). Here, we evaluated plant height in 209 diverse Shanxi local foxtail...
