Phenotypic evaluation and mapping QTLs for drought tolerance in an interspecific RIL population from a Setaria italica × Setaria viridis cross
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. Here, an interspecific reco...
