The male sterility found in pearl millet is Cytoplasmic genetic male sterility.
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a condition under which a plant is unable to produce functional pollen, is widespread among higher plants. CMS systems represent a valuable tool in the production of hybrid seeds in self-pollinating crop species.
Cytoplasmic-nuclear male sterility (CMS) system in pearl millet has been extensively used for more than 30 years to breed male-sterile lines (A-lines) of grain hybrids.
It is derived from a half-sib progeny of the Early Gene Pool (EGP 261) and used in a male-sterile line.
