Transcriptome and co-expression network revealed molecular mechanism underlying selenium response of foxtail millet (Setaria italica).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Selenium-enriched foxtail millet (Setaria italica) represents a functional cereal with significant health benefits for humans. This study endeavors to examine the impact of foliar application of sodium selenite (Na₂SeO₄) 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 Na₂SeO₄ treatment (200 μmol/L).

Results

Foxtail millet subjected to selenium fertilizer exhibited s
