As a well-adapted plant to dry soil and short growing seasons, common millet holds great potential as a drought-resistant crop.
Transcripts identified in this study will accelerate our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in common millet.

Common millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) belongs to the Gramineae family and is one of the oldest cultivated crops.
corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes), common millet's production decreased from 2 104 km2 in the 1950s to 1 - 1.2 104 km2 in the 1990s to approximately 7 - 10 103 km2 in 2012 (Chai, 1999; Chai et al., 2012).
The analysis of the plant remains gave records of 77 different plant taxa, and common millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and sage (Salvia officinalis L.) were identified for the first time from archaeological layers in Finland.
In Ruotsinsalmi the most common field crops are the achenes and remnants of the pericarp of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), followed by glumes of common millet (Panicum miliaceum) (Fig.
The glumes of common millet (Panicum miliaceum) were a remarkable find, as it has not been found before in Finland.
The high frequency of buckwheat and common millet compared to Finnish cereals can be explained with the different usage of the plants.
