在狗尾草的100多种植物中，谷子、谷子和谷子都是人工驯化的。然而，只有小米成为世界性的农作物，为中华文明的发展做出了巨大贡献，并作为干旱和半干旱地区的主食保留了下来。绿尾是栽培谷子的祖先，两者可视为同一物种。考古证据表明，小米的驯化大约始于16000年左右，是一种公认的作物，大约在9000-10000年左右，大约5000-6000年左右流行于中国北部，然后传播到世界其他地区。尽管对于谷子的驯化是否发生过不止一次存在一些争议，但最近的分子数据和考古证据表明，驯化事件是单一的。
Among the more than 100 species in Setaria, S. macrostachya, S. pumila, and foxtail millet (S. italica) cereals were domesticated by human beings. However, only foxtail millet became a worldwide crop, contributing greatly to the development of Chinese civilization and remaining as a staple cereal in arid and semi-arid regions. Green foxtail is the ancestor of cultivated foxtail millet and both can be regarded as the same species. Archeological evidence indicates that the domestication of foxtail millet from green foxtail probably began around 16,000 YBP, was a recognized crop around 9000-10,000 YBP, and became popular in Northern China at about 5000-6000 YBP, then spread to other parts of the world. Although there has been some controversies over whether the domestication of foxtail millet has occurred more than once, recent molecular data and archeological evidence suggest a single domestication event.
