Gene Action in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum americanum L. Leeke)

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, 1989
AbstractGrain yield was largely governed by non‐additive (SCA) type of gene action with the significant existence of additive (GCA) type of gene action. GCA variance due to females was significant whereas due to males was non‐significant under all environments.

Trisomic categories in pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke)

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1988
In pearl millet [Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke], in the open pollinated and crossed progenies of autotriploids, desynaptics and translocation heterozygotes, two primary trisomics, one each of secondary and tertiary trisomics, two primary trisomics with interchanges, two interchange secondary trisomics, and three interchange tertiary trisomics were ...

HETEROSIS AND RECOMBINATION POTENTIAL IN PENNISETUM AMERICANUM (L.) LEEKE

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1990
The ear weight, grain yield and tiller number in pearl millet exhibited higher degree of heterosis. Inbreeding depression was higher for grain yield in BxB series than in RxR series. Heterosis for grain yield was retained to a great extent in the F₂ of cross L 111 B x J 126 D2B.

Inheritance of genetic malesterility in Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke

Euphytica, 1978
A spontaneously occurring male sterile condition was located in an inbred line Vg 272 of Pennisetum americanum. Male sterility was inherited as a monogenic recessive condition and showed independent assortment with hairy leaf surface phenotype.

Pennisetum americanum as a grain crop in Eastern Australia

Field Crops Research, 1983
Abstract Pearl millet ( Pennisetum americanum L.) genotypes were grown in a glasshouse where they fitted a population which was nornally distributed with respect to maturity, height and seed weight, but skewed towards short inflorescences. Representative genotypes were then grown in two seasons in single rows with and without irrigation and in small

Combined different dehydration pretreatments and torrefaction to upgrade fuel properties of hybrid pennisetum (Pennisetum americanum ×P. purpureum)

Bioresource Technology, 2018
Different dehydrating methods combined with torrefaction were investigated to find the underlying mechanism that how dehydration process influence the degree of hornification. Hybrid pennisetum was selected as the experiment material. Oven-dried sample (ODS), crushed dried sample (CDS), and sun-cured dried sample (SDS) were torrefied under the ...

Pattern-dependent maternal plastid inheritance in Pennisetum americanum

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1986
The descendents of the "stripe" mutant of Pennisetum americanum consisted of green, variegated, and yellow seedlings. Variegation pattern differed from plant to plant, from tiller to tiller within a plant, and from leaf to leaf on the same tiller. The chlorophyll content (A663 per square decimetre) also differed among the variegated plants and leaves.

Floral development of pearl millet [Pennisetum americanum (L.) K. Schum.]

Field Crops Research, 1980
Several field-grown pearl millet genotypes [Pennisetum americanum (L.)] were dissected and sampled at various growth stages to determine floral development. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe and to help identify floral parts. The growth sequence, the direction of growth, and morphology of the earhead (panicle) were noted and ...

Nuclear gene induced plastid alterations in Pennisetum americanum

Genome, 1988
A nonlethal stripe mutant (700430) of Pennisetum americanum was crossed reciprocally with other normal inbred lines to establish its inheritance pattern. A recessive nuclear gene, when homozygous, led to defective plastid development with variable penetrance and expressivity. Intraplant and interspikelet crosses revealed maternal plastid transmission.

Toxicological sensitivity of Pennisetum americanum (L.) K. Schum to atrazine exposure

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2018
The tolerance of Pennisetum americanum (L.) K Schum (P. americanum) to the herbicide atrazine, as well as the atrazine accumulation in exposed plants, was investigated in this study. The germination of P. americanum seeds was not significantly inhibited by exposure to atrazine at concentrations below 100 mg·L-1.
