- Abstract
The article presents a study regarding the effect of genetic background on fertility restoration of pearl millet hybrids based on three diverse cytoplasmic-nuclear male-sterility (CMS) systems. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the genetic background of A-lines on fertility restoration behavior of hybrids. Results show that in terms of seed set and productivity, it does not matter whether a hybrid of pearl mille has all plants fully fertile or a majority of fully fertile plants.
