Setaria

Setaria is a genus of herbaceous plants in the Poaceae family. It is native to temperate and tropical regions of the globe.

Description

They are annual plants. Leaves with a hairy or glabrous sheath; ligule represented by a row of hairs; flat blade. Inflorescence in a spiciform panicle, dense, with a scabrid or pubescent axis. Spikelet peduncles with numerous rigid setae, antrorse or retrorso-scabride, persistent. Shortly pedunculated spikelets, ovate or elliptic, with a male or sterile lower flower and a hermaphrodite upper flower. Glumes 2, unequal, membranous, shorter than the flowers or the upper one as long as the flowers; the lower one with (1-) 3 nerves and the upper one with 5-7 nerves. Lower flower with lemma as long as that of the upper flower, with 5-7 veins, membranous; membranous palea. Upper flower with lemma with 5 slightly marked nerves, coriaceous; palea almost as long as lemma and with 2 keels, hardening at maturity. Oblongoid to ellipsoid caryopsis.

Taxonomy

The genus was described by Ambroise Marie François Joseph Palisot de Beauvois and published in Essai d'une Nouvelle Agrostographie 51, 178, pl. 13, f. 3. 1812. The type species is: Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.

Etymology

The name of the genus derives from the Latin seta (bristle), alluding to the bristly inflorescences.

Cytology

The basic chromosome number of the genus is x = x = 9 and 10, with somatic chromosome numbers of 2n = 18, 36, 54, 63, and 72, or 36-54 as there are diploid species and a polyploid series. Relatively "small" chromosomes. persistent nucleoli
