Based on the personal communication with Dr. A. Doust (Botany Department, Oklahoma State University), the nine chromosomes of foxtail millet corresponded to the first nine assembled scaffolds, which represented 98.9% of the whole-genome sequence of foxtail millet released in Phytozome v7.0 (www.phytozome.net/foxtailmillet.php).
Total number of loci showing one-to-one relationship between switchgrass linkage groups and foxtail millet chromosomes are indicated in parenthesis.
