The anti-drought relative gene of SiFBX (GenBank accession number KC252635.1) which belongs to the F-box super family was cloned from foxtail millet (Se-taria italic). The full-length cDNA of SiFBX was 510 bp, which encoded 170 amino acid residues. Protein analysis and structure predication showed that it has a higher proportion of arginine (R), leucine (L), and serine (S) and a lack of trans-membrane do-mains and signal peptide. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that SiFBX has similarity with EID1 and FBW4. Many abiotic stress-related cis-acting elements and transcription factors were discovered in the 1.9 kb upstream region of SiFBX. The results of real-time PCR showed that there were remarkable changes in the expectation level of SiFBX for the treatments with PEG, wa-ter-withholding, and ABA.
