The Setaria complex encompasses crop, wild, and weed species with contrasting breeding systems and life cycles. Nuclear DNA content, base composition, and ploidy levels were determined in 14 Setaria species. Genome size (2C) of the diploid of cultivated species (S. italica) and its wild ancestor (S. viridis) have been evaluated at 1 pg. Three ploidy levels have been described (2n = 18, 36, 54). The interspecific range of the nuclear genomes was from 1.0 pg to 5.26 pg, and the haploid genome varied from 0.50 pg to 1.20 pg.
