Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Seita.9G089700
• Gene Symbol: SiPHYC
• Gene Name: PHYTOCHROME C
• Genome:
• Species: Setaria italica

Functional Descriptions:

• Here, genomic variations of PHYTOCHROME C (PHYC) between wild and cultivated Setaria gene pools were analysed and three SiPHYC mutants were identified.
• SiPHYC mutants and knockout transgenic plants showed an early heading date and a loss of response to short-day photoperiod.
• This research indicated that SiPHYC undergoes a selection during domestication, and it is a key factor determining Setaria as a SD plant.
• Our results suggest that domestication-associated SiPHYC repressed flowering and determined Setaria as a short-day plant, and SiPHYC mutants possess the potential for creating efficient indoor cultivation system suitable for research on Setaria as a model, and either for maize or sorghum as well.Doi:
