Foreword

Pearl millet is an important cereal crop in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa where it is grown for food, feed and fodder. Increased and stable production of pearl millet is essential for the well-being of millions of people living in these marginal regions.

ICRISAT has a global mandate to conserve the genetic resources of pearl millet and enhance its productivity in Asia and Africa. This is done through collaborative research with multiple partners in the national agriculture research systems, advanced research institutes, private sector, and non-governmental organizations.

ICRISAT aligned its research strategy for pearl millet with the regional priority of developing improved breeding lines and hybrid parents in Asia. Pearl millet productivity in India has increased from 400-500 kgs per ha in 1960s to the present levels of about 1.2 tons per ha due to the success of hybrid technology. There has been extensive use of ICRISAT-bred seed parents (A/B lines) and restorers (R lines) by both National Agricultural Research Systems and the private seed companies. In view of the increased use of ICRISAT-bred parental lines and awareness on protecting these lines under Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), a need has been felt to characterize and place them in public domain as international public goods (IPGs). This would enhance ICRISAT’s ability to protect these materials from any possible infringement, and allow unhindered access to it by public organizations globally.

Working in this direction, ICRISAT has already characterized and documented 99 A/B lines which were developed during the period 1981-2004. The breeding program for the development of restorer parents runs parallel to the seed parent development program and about 1,731 restorer lines were developed and designated during 1985–2008. These lines were disseminated as potential hybrid parents after evaluation for agronomic performance and resistance to downy mildew, the most damaging disease of pearl millet in India.

Although individual lines were evaluated in the years they were developed and designated, they have not been evaluated for a comprehensive set of morphological traits in common environments until now. Thus, the objective of the present study was to characterize

promising restorer lines using morphological traits developed for Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) - test.

This publication is part of ICRISAT’s commitment to share knowledge on genetic resources to increase nutritional security together with our partners in hybrid development and seed production around the globe.

Introduction Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.], primarily grown for grain production on more than 26 m ha in the arid and semi-arid tropical (SAT) regions of Asia and Africa, is a highly nutritious cereal crop with wide agro- ecological adaptation. India, the largest producer of this crop at the global level, cultivates pearl millet on about >9 million ha contributing to more than 90% area of the crop in the Asian region. It is a highly cross pollinated crop, and single-cross hybrids generally give 20-30% more yield than open pollinated varieties (Rai et al. 2006). With the availability of commercially exploitable cytoplasmic-nuclear male sterility (CMS) systems in pearl millet, the national agricultural research system (NARS) and the private seed sector in India focused their breeding programs on hybrid development. This led to the development and adoption of a diverse range and large number of hybrids (> 80 in 2011) and now occupying > 4.5 m ha area, which is about half the total pearl millet area being cultivated in India (Rai et al. 2006). ICRISAT also aligned its breeding program to developing promising hybrid parental lines in order to support the Asian pearl millet hybrid program.There has been extensive use of ICRISAT-bred seed parents (A/B lines) and restorers (R lines) by both NARS and the seed companies in the private sector. For instance, 60-70% of the hybrids often included in the All India Coordinated Trials and released by both NARS and the private sector are based on ICRISAT-bred hybrid parents (Mula et al. 2007). In view of the increased use of ICRISAT-bred parental lines and awareness on protecting these lines under Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), a need has been felt to characterize and place them in public domain as international public goods (IPGs). This would enhance ICRISAT’s ability to protect these materials from any possible infringement, and allow unhindered free access to it by public organizations globally. Working in this direction, ICRISAT has already characterized and documented 99 A/B lines which were developed during the period 1981-2004 (Rai et al. 2009) (http://www.icrisat.org/what-we- do/publications/icrisat-publications-2010/morphological-pearlmillet.pdf).The breeding program for the development of restorer parents runs parallel to the seed parent development program and about 1731 restorer lines were developed and designated during 1985 – 2008. Most of the restorers have been bred using genotypes of Indian and African origin, following several methods such as pedigree selection, population

improvement, or pedigree bulk selection in introduced landraces or breeding materials, followed by inbreeding at ICRISAT, and also few entries among them have been obtained from national program partners. These lines were designated and disseminated as potential hybrid parents after evaluation for agronomic performance and resistance to downy mildew (caused by Sclerospora graminicola), the most dreadful disease of pearl millet in India. Although individual lines were evaluated in the years they were developed and designated, they have not been evaluated for a comprehensive set of morphological traits in common environments until now. Thus, the objective of the present study was to characterize 114 promising restorer lines using 26 morphological traits developed as DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability) descriptors as shown in Annexure I (AICPMIP 2006).

Materials and MethodsPlant material and field trials In the pearl millet improvement program at ICRISAT, about 1731 pearl millet restorers are maintained in the ICRISAT Pearl Millet Pollinator Collection (IPMPC). These were designated an IPC (ICRISAT Pollinator Collection) number in order of their development in the breeding program at ICRISAT. These restorers were bred at ICRISAT using the ear-to-row method followed by their maintenance through bulking 10-15 phenotypically similar looking plants/season. All collection entries are being maintained in medium term cold storage at ICRISAT. Based on the information contained in a booklet Pearl Millet Pollinators: Description, Pedigrees and Distribution published by ICRISAT in 1995 (Talukdar et al. 1995), where 1704 restorers designated in the period 1985–1995 have been documented, 114 restorers identified as relatively more promising based on plant characteristics and diversity were selected for this study. These 114 restorers parents were

planted in a randomized complete block design with two replications during the 2007 rainy season (Jul–Oct) and 2008 postrainy (dry) season (Mar–May) at ICRISAT, Patancheru (18oN lat. ; 78o E long.). During the rainy season, there was a total rainfall of 442.7 mm with the weekly mean maximum temperatures ranging between 28.1 and 31.9o C, weekly mean

minimum temperatures ranging between 17.4 and 23.7oC and relative humidity above 96% (Fig. 1). During the postrainy season, there was a total of 236.2 mm rainfall with the weekly mean maximum temperatures ranging between 28.8 and 39.4oC, weekly mean minimum temperatures ranging between 14.6 and 24.5oC and relative humidity > 92% (Fig. 2).

Each line was machine-planted in a single row of 4 m with 75 cm spacing between the rows in rainy season and 60 cm in postrainy season, and 15 cm spacing between the plants in both seasons. The experiment was conducted in alfisols with applied fertilizer levels of 80 kg ha-1 N (18% basal and rest as top dressing) and 46 kg ha-1 as P (basal dose). The standard cultural and agronomic practices were followed that included thinning and manual weeding at 15 days after sowing.

Data collection and analysisThe observations on nine quantitative traits were taken on 10 random plants in each plot for plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), panicle diameter (cm), number of productive tillers, number of nodes per plant, leaf sheath length (cm), leaf blade length (cm), leaf blade width (cm) and 1000-grain weight (g). Time to 50% flower was recorded on plot basis when the main panicles of 50% of the plants in the plots had full stigma emergence. Data were also taken on 16 other qualitative or quasi–qualitative traits.

These included seedling color, panicle exertion, panicle tip sterility, node pubescence, node pigmentation, internode pigmentation, leaf sheath

pubescence, anther color, glume pigmentation, presence/absence of bristles in panicle, and bristle color for which data were recorded on the basis of visual assessment of individual plants (or parts of plants) within a plot (VS); for traits such as plant growth habit, panicle shape, panicle density, seed color and seed shape it was based on visual assessment of group of plants (or parts of plants) in a plot (VG). The mean plot values of the quantitative traits measured were subjected to analysis of variance across the two seasons following randomized complete block design and using Genstat 10.1 software.

Results and DiscussionGermplasm baseIn the pearl millet improvement program at ICRISAT, restorer lines (R-lines) are developed with considerable morphological and genetic diversity and then designated based on agronomic performance. The parentage of 114 designated restorer lines shows the utilization of a wide range of germplasm and improved lines in developing these R lines. For instance, 19 R-lines were directly selected from the germplasm accessions, and 11 were selected directly from composites (Table 1). Table 1. Genetic diversification of 114 designated restorer parents of pearl millet at ICRISAT.

In addition, 8 R-lines were derived from crosses that involved germplasm in their parentage and 17 lines had composites in their parentage. Thus, there were 55 restorer lines that had some components of germplasm and/or composite in their parentage, indicating apparently substantial usage of germplasm and composites in the development of these R-lines.

The remaining 59 R-lines were derived from crosses between elite inbred lines. Thus, while these 114 restorer lines have been developed utilizing diverse parents, they also share a large number of parental lines of common origin. For instance, 43 restorer lines had one of the parents developed from Jamnagar Research Station (depicted with ‘J’ prefix in the pedigree), while 32 restorer lines had one of the parents from Institute of Agricultural Research Millet Program, Kano, Nigeria (depicted as ‘700…’ series as prefix) in their parentage. B282, a d2 dwarf restorer obtained from Rockefeller Foundation Collection, originating from Bangkok was found in the parentage of about 14 restorer lines. Again, LCSN, a selection from ICRISAT Late Composite developed in Burkina Faso was present in the parentage of about 14 lines.

Quantitative traitsThe overall mean of all the R lines for ten quantitative characters revealed significant effect of the season on plant height (148 cm in rainy; 134 cm in postrainy), days to 50% flowering (48 days in rainy; 50 days in postrainy), and for number of nodes per plant (8.9 in rainy; 8.3 in postrainy) (Table 2). There were significant differences among genotypes for all the quantitative traits under study which revealed the presence of significant genetic variability among the restorer lines. A wide range was observed for most of the characters based on the mean values over the two seasons (Table 3).

For instance, plant height ranged from 56 to 201 cm, 50% flowering from 43 to 61 days, panicle length from 10 to 40 cm and 1000-grain weight from 5.7 to 14.0 g. There were 6 genotypes with more than 3 tillers per plant while 5 genotypes had panicle diameter of more than 3.0 cm. Restorer lines such as ICMP 451 (IPC 107) and H77/833-2 (IPC 1466) which have been quite popular in pearl millet hybrid breeding programs were used as reference lines to classify the restorer lines for some specific traits. It was found that 21 restorer lines were in the same maturity group as the earliest flowering commercial restorer parent H77/833-2 (45 days). About 47 R-lines were in the same productive tiller group as of ICMP 451 (1.8 tillers per plant).

A maximum number of 27 R-lines were in the same panicle length group as ICMP 451 (23 cm), while 11 lines had panicle length of more than 25cm. There were 26 R-lines with similar panicle diameter as that of ICMP 451 (2.8 cm) while 5 lines had more than 3.0 cm of panicle diameter. The 1000-grain weight of 21 lines ranged 10.1-12 g similar to that of ICMP 451 (11.1g).

Qualitative and quasi- qualitative traitsFrequency distribution of the 114 restorer lines for 16 qualitative and quasi-qualitative characters revealed considerable variation for traits like anthocyanin pigmentation of first leaf, panicle exertion, panicle density, plant node pigmentation, panicle shape, seed shape and seed color (Annexure III). Majority of the lines (78%) were intermediate in their growth habit. Most of the restorer lines were non-bristled except for IPC 107, IPC 408, IPC 804, IPC 1043 and IPC 1617. Only 15 lines had pubescent node and 8 had pubescent leaf sheath. Green was most dominant color for node (56%) and internode (98%), brown being the next major trait in node color and red for the internode. A majority of the lines had grey colored seeds (76%), followed by cream (17%) and deep grey colored (6%) seeds. In seed shape, obovate (56%) was the most dominant, followed by globular (40.5%) and only 1.7% lines were both elliptical and hexagonal in seed shape. About 75% of the lines had complete panicle exertion and 25% of the lines had variable exertion. Semi-compact panicles were most common (43%), followed by compact (21.5%) and loose panicles (15.5%), 1 line had very loose panicle and 16.3% lines showed variable expression within a line for very loose to very compact panicles. Only 6 lines had very compact panicles.

Within-line variability was observed in few restorer lines across two replications for some traits like anthocyanin pigmentation of seedlings, anther color, panicle exertion, panicle density, plant growth habit and plant node pigmentation. Eighteen R-lines had alternate phenotypes other than the predominant class for panicle density across both the seasons or in a single season. For instance, IPC 687 had compact panicles in the rainy season but had loose panicles in the dry season, whereas IPC 390 had loose to semi-compact panicles in the dry season. Following the same trend, alternate phenotypes were present in 14 restorer lines for anthocyanin pigmentation of seedlings, either across both the seasons or in a single season. For instance, alternate phenotype for seedling pigmentation color was present in IPC 408 in both the seasons while IPC 976 had such alternate phenotypes in rainy season only. Similarly, for panicle exertion, alternate phenotypes were present in IPC 1000 in both the seasons. This within-line variability seems to be due to the method followed for their maintenance where panicles from 10-15 plants are bulked for these restorer lines. There is a possibility that the other restorer lines which have not shown such within- line variability in

Page 16: Characterization of ICRISAT-bred

this study, might show it if tested with larger sample size, and perhaps in different environments. Therefore, there is every possibility that with larger number of plants tested for each of these restorer parents, one can come across a few plants that express the alternate phenotype of these qualitative (or quasi-qualitative) traits, which otherwise should not be construed as a new phenotype or plant type at any given time. Existence of such variability within the line has a significant bearing on the protection of intellectual property.

ICRISAT works in agricultural research for development across the drylands of Africa and Asia, making farming profitable for smallholder farmers while reducing malnutrition and environmental degradation.

We believe all people have a right to nutritious food and a better livelihood.
