Panicum miliaceum
Common millet is well-adapted to sandy/dry soil, dry weather conditions and short growing seasons. Thus, it holds great potential as a drought-resistant crop.However, the genetic characterization of common millet is not complete due to its allotetraploid (2n=4x=36) genome. Thus, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of P. miliaceum is necessary to generate large quantities of transcripts for the purpose of drought-tolerant gene discovery. The transcripts obtained in this study will accelerate research on the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in common millet.
