Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), which originated in China, is an important crop with high genetic diversity. In recent years, several cultivars were developed, but parental cultivars resources are still limited. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers can be used with a high degree of automation and are advantageous tools for genetic diversity analysis. The objective of this study was to analyze genetic diversity in 30 cultivars of foxtail millet using the fluorescent ISSR technique. Eight ISSR markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity in 13 cultivars in Shanxi (SX), 7 in Hebei (HE), 4 in Inner Mongolia (IM), 2 in Shaanxi (SN), 2 in Henan (HA) and 2 in Liaoning (LN), respectively. A total of 122 bands, of which 105(84.5%) were polymorphism bands, were obtained. The average number of polymorphic information content (PIC), marker index (MI) and resolving power (RP) of eight ISSR primers in this study was 0.9, 12.04 and 5.54, respectively. Nei's genetic distance varied from 0.56 to 0.93. Cluster analysis classified the 30 cultivars into three groups. The cultivars from SX province could be placed together in Group II, but SN, HE and IM were placed in Group I. Group III contained germplasms from different regions (SX, HE, HA and IM), In conclusion, our results indicate high genetic diversity among 30 Chinese foxtail millet cultivars, which could contribute to future breeding programs and functional genomic research.

Previous studies have revealed that emotional healing reading materials can sooth readers' negative emotions. Among the various reading materials, the romance fiction is a genre of high healing efficacy for undergraduate students who encounter love-related emotional disturbance. To explore the problems they experience in love relationships and the emotional healing efficacy of romance fictions for such situations, this study first employed content analysis to identify a list of fictions that are considered of emotional healing efficacy. It continued to conduct an online survey to examine the emotional healing process in undergraduate students' reading experiences. The results showed that undergraduate students often experienced one-sided love, ambiguous relationship, lack of intimacy, rivalry, conflict, and breakup. It also identified 18 Chinese romance titles that may assist the readers to go through the emotional healing stages of identification, catharsis, and insight [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
