description Foxtail millet has attracted substantial attention in recent years because of its excellent properties as a cereal crop with high nutritional value. Although the cultivation area of foxtail millet keeps growing, the fundamental research into the nutritional and eating qualities of foxtail millet germplasm collections is limited. In this study, we performed a survey of protein content, amino acid composition and eating quality among a germplasm collection of foxtail millet accessions grown in different environments. Our results revealed 21 accessions with stable protein content under different environments. The correlation analysis further revealed that the protein content of the grains was affected by environmental and genotypic interactions. The further amino acid composition analyses suggested that higher protein content accessions have a better essential amino acid index, providing more nutritional value for human beings and animal feedstock. Moreover, the flavor-related amino acid content and other eating-quality trait analyses were also performed. The subordinative analysis suggested that B331 could be the best accession with high protein content and superior eating quality. Taken together, this study provides essential nutritional and eating-quality data on our germplasm collection of foxtail millets, and provides a core genetic resource from which to breed elite foxtail millet varieties in the future.
