Description The hydrolytic breakdown of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) meal lipids and enzymatic degradation of meal phenolics are thought to cause the development of a "mousy" odour in stored meal. Some 29 ICRISAT genotypes with green, brown or white seeds were analysed for fats and phenolics and polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase (POD) activities. Three genotypes with low POD activity were identified and are currently used as mapping populations to identify quantitative trait loci associated with this trait.
