Setaria is a widespread genus of plants in the grass family.[5][6]
The name is derived from the Latin word seta, meaning "bristle" or "hair", which refers to the bristly spikelets.[7]
The genus includes over 100 species distributed in many tropical and temperate regions around the world,[8] and members are commonly known as foxtail or bristle grasses.[2][9][10][11][12][13]
Several species are cultivated for food or as animal fodder, such as foxtail millet (S. italica) and korali (S. pumila), while others are invasive weeds.[14] Setaria viridis is currently being developed as a genetic model system for bioenergy grasses.
