Summary Phytochromes play vital roles in the regulation of flowering time, but little is known in Panicoideae species, especially the C4 model Setaria. Here, genomic variations of PHYTOCHROME C (PHYC) between wild and cultivated Setaria gene pools were analysed and three SiphyC mutants were identifi...
