Abstract
- Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is an important reserve cereal crop, and its nutritional and medicinal properties have seen its demand increase in recent years. Therefore, it is important to establish an evaluation system for the comprehensive assessment of its quality. We assessed 90 accessions of foxtail millet from China for 23 quality traits. The results showed that the 23 quality traits had diverse coefficients of variation, with the greatest variation in a*, phosphorus content, and potassium contents, at 37.71, 28.81, and 20.18%, respectively. Cluster analysis defined five categories that were consistent with the geographical origins of the accessions. Seven principal components were also extracted from the 23 traits using principal component analysis. A comprehensive quality evaluation system was established, and 8 high-quality accessions were identified. The findings of the present study could facilitate the breeding of high-quality foxtail millet and enhance quality evaluation activities.
