“…ICMV 155 bmr was developed using the ICMV 155 population. ICMV 155, a dual-purpose open-pollinated variety was developed by the random mating of 59 selfed progenies from the C4 cycle of the New Elite Composite (NELC) and released for cultivation in India in 1991 (Singh et al 1994). Its bmr version, designated as ICMV 155 bmr was developed by the random mating of selected uniformly brown midrib BC 6 F 4 progenies which were derived from the bmr line (Pbmr) developed by Cherney et al (1988) and https://doi.org/10.17221/93/2022-CJGPB introgressed into the ICMV 155 genetic background (Blümmel et al 2003).…”

The lignin content of forage crops significantly affects the livestock's forage intake and its dry matter digestibility. The brown midrib (bmr) trait is known for its association with a reduced lignin content and increased digestibility. Pearl millet inbreds having the bmr trait were derived from two populations ICMV bmr and WRajPop bmr via continued selfing up to 6-8 generations. The results from the crosses revealed the presence of the same single recessive gene that controlled the bmr in both the populations. The stable expression of the bmr gene in the new genetic background indicated that there was no effect of modifier genes. Four inbreds were identified with the stable expression of bmr (three in ICMV 155 and one in the WRajPop background) with a high biomass potential, which can serve as a bmr source in future pearl millet forage breeding programmes.

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] varieties grown in semiarid Africa and Asia have low grain yields. Information on heterosis and combining ability of diverse open‐pollinated cultivars, breeding populations, and genepools is needed for efficient choice of breeding methods and parental materials to use in developing productive base populations for this crop. Data for grain and biomass yield, growth rate, time to flowering, plant height, panicle length, and productive tillers were collected from an 11‐parent variety cross diallel of diverse pearl millet populations evaluated in five field environments in peninsular India. Data were summarized using the Gardner–Eberhart Analysis II. When genotype × environment interactions were significant, ranks of parental general combining abilities (GCA) were used to identify particular environments and parents contributing most to these interactions. Parental population effects were significant for all characters, as were differences in GCA. Populations NWC C2, AfPop 88, and LHGP consistently had the poorest ranks for general combining ability for grain yield across test environments. Populations ICMV 91059, SenPop, ICMP 91751, and ICMP 92951 constitute a genetically diverse subset of the parents that consistently had the best ranks for grain yield GCA across test environments. With ICMV 155 (crosses of which performed poorly in only one of five test environments), this latter group is a good source of more broad‐based breeding populations for dual‐purpose pearl millet improvement targeting peninsular India.
