Introduction: Selenium-enriched foxtail millet () represents a functional cereal with significant health benefits for humans. This study endeavors to examine the impact of foliar application of sodium selenite (NaSeO) on foxtail millet, specifically focusing on selenium (Se) accumulation and transportation within various plant tissues.
Methods: To unravel the molecular mechanisms governing selenium accumulation and transportation in foxtail millet, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of selenium content and transcriptome responses in foxtail millet spikelets across different days (3, 5, 7, and 12) under NaSeO treatment (200 μmol/L).
Article Synopsis
- The study identifies 16 ABI5 genes in foxtail millet and analyzes their sequences, structures, and replication, highlighting their close relationship with maize.
- Promoter analysis shows that SiABI5 genes are involved in hormone and stress responses, indicating complex regulatory mechanisms.
- Transgenic experiments reveal that overexpressing SiABI5.12 enhances tolerance to osmotic stress in Arabidopsis, suggesting its important role in abiotic stress responses in foxtail millet.
