摘      要：Foxtail millet is a minor yet important crop in some areas of the world,particularly northern *** has strong adaptability to abiotic stresses,especially drought,and poor *** also has high nutritional *** millet is rich in essential amino acids,fatty acids and minerals,and is considered to be one of the most digestible and non-allergenic grains available and has significant importance for human *** foxtail millet’s ability to adapt to abiotic stresses associated with climate change,it is more important than ever to develop breeding strategies that facilitate the increasing demand for high quality grain that better satisfies *** we review research on foxtail millet quality evaluation,appearance,cooking and eating quality at the phenotypic *** review analysis of the main nutrients in foxtail millet,their relationships and the biochemical and genetic factors affecting their *** addition,we review past progress in breeding this regionally important crop,outline current status of breeding of foxtail millet,and make suggestions to improve grain quality.
