ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to cultivated plants that contain the gene(s) from Pennisetum squamulatum which express apomixis. More specifically, it relates to apomictic backcross hybrids (BC) that closely resemble pearl millet in morphology and their progeny. These apomictic pearl millets are useful as forage or grain cultivars or used as male pollinators on sexual germplasm to produce new apomictic forage and grain hybrids. The plants can also be used as a source of the gene(s) for controlling apomixis in order to transfer the apomictic mechanism into other cultivated plants to develop true-breeding hybrids.
