Dear Editor,Grasses of the genus Panicumgrowin natural and agricultural ecosystems worldwide and include about 450 species distributed throughout tropical and temperate regions.Most Panicumgrasses remain unexploited,with the exceptions of broomcorn millet(P.miliaceum)(Shi et al.,2019;Zou et al.,2019),switchgrass(P.virgatum)(Lovell et al.,2021),Hall’s panicgrass(P.hallii)(Lovell et al.,2018),and a few other species that have been successfully domesticated into staple,forage,and energy crops.Broomcorn millet(2n=4x=36)is probably one of the earliest domesticated grain crops,originating in North China around 10000 years ago.
