Description This database includes the research work carried out on phenotypic evaluation of pearl millet seed parents designated in 1981 to 2004. The 14 A-lines in three diverse cytoplasmic backgrounds (63 A1, 35 A4 and 1 Aag), and their counterpart B-lines were planted in a split-plot design, with 48 genotypes as main plots and two cytoplasms (fertile vs sterile) as sub-plots, in two replications during the 2005 post-rainy (dry) season (January - May) (E1) and rainy season (July - October) (E2) at ICRISAT, Patancheru (18º N lat; 78º E long.). The agronomic data (Growth habit, Days to 50% flowering, Anther color, Leaf sheath pubescence, Internode pigmentation, Plant height (cm), Number of productive tillers plant-1, Panicle exsertion, Panicle length (cm), Panicle diameter (cm), Panicle shape, Panicle density, Seed color, Seed shape, 1000-grain weight (g)) of the progenies evaluated were presented herewith. The trial details and plot sizes were given. This data helps us to know which ICRISAT-bred seed parents are used in national system.
