Functional deciphering of the fibrillin gene family in foxtail millet reveals a non-synonymous SNP associated with carotenoid accumulation
2026-08-11
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Carotenoids are essential phytonutrients for human health and plant adaptation. In plastids, carotenoid storage and turnover occur in plastoglobules, whose core structural components are Fibrillin (FBN) proteins. The FBN family remains uncharacterized in foxtail millet ( Setaria italica ), a nutritious C4 cereal whose grain carotenoid content strongly correlates with color. The genetic basis of...
