Students care for the plants, recording the number of seedheads produced and any branches or unusual seedheads or leaf shapes. At the semester’s end, students collect seeds from each millet plant to mail back to Danforth, along with their findings.Expanding knowledge and opportunityThe Mutant Millets project refines Setaria viridis, a small, hardy grass that grows wild throughout North America.
