โฆ Synopsis
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] pollen has been successfully stored for 2,615 and 2,911 days at -18ยฐ and -73 ยฐC, respectively, and continues to be viable. Viability of pollen stored at -73 ยฐC appears to be little affected either by pollen storage moisture contents below 7.2% or by storage in glass vial or zip-lock plastic bag containers. Pollen moisture content appears to be more critical for maintaining viability at -18ยฐC than at -73ยฐC. Glass vials appear to be more desirable for longer term (>3 years) storage at -18ยฐC.

Genetic analysis was conducted on the qualitative and quantitative traits of sexual progeny derived from embryogenic cultures of two inbred lines of Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. (pearl millet). These lines included a genetically stable inbred of Tift 23 BE and a genetic marker line, derived from T
