Foxtail millet is an annual grass with slim, vertical, leafy stems which can reach a height of 120–200 cm (3 ft 11 in – 6 ft 7 in).. The seedhead is a dense, hairy panicle 5–30 cm (2 in – 1 ft 0 in) long.
Setaria viridis is a species of grass known by many common names, including green foxtail, [1] green bristlegrass, [1] and wild foxtail millet. [1] It is sometimes considered a subspecies of Setaria italica. [1] It is native to Eurasia, but it is known on most continents as an introduced species and is closely related to Setaria faberi, a ...
A foxtail is a spikelet or cluster of a grass, that serves to disperse its seeds as a unit. Thus, the foxtail is a type of diaspore or plant dispersal unit. Some grasses that produce a foxtail are themselves called "foxtail", also "spear grass". They can become a health hazard for dogs, cats, and other domestic animals, [1] and a nuisance for ...
Pelecyphora missouriensis, the Missouri foxtail cactus and formerly Coryphantha missouriensis, is a species of low-growing North American cacti. Description [ edit ]
Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are other important crop species. Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had "a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop agriculture and settled farming societies". [4]
Several species are still cultivated today as food or as animal fodder, such as foxtail millet and korali , while others are considered invasive weeds. [17] S. italica and S. viridis are being developed as genetic model systems for the study of monocots and bioenergy grasses. [18]
Proso millet is a relative of foxtail millet, pearl millet, maize, and sorghum within the grass subfamily Panicoideae. While all of these crops use C4 photosynthesis , the others all employ the NADP-ME as their primary carbon shuttle pathway, while the primary C4 carbon shuttle in proso millet is the NAD-ME pathway.
