Description
Hui Gao and co-authors review how foxtail millet copes with drought in a 2025 paper. Drought is a growing threat to farming as the climate warms. Foxtail millet, a grain from China suited to dry land, serves both as a food crop and as a model for drought study.
The review traces responses at many levels: roots reshape, leaf pores close, cells adjust their chemistry, and photosynthesis is reprogrammed. Signals based on calcium, reactive oxygen, and a plant hormone coordinate the response, tuned by gene switches and small RNAs. Breeders get a map of traits and genes that could harden other crops.
