Title: Introduction of Male Sterile Line Tift85DA_4 and Hybrid Seed Production of Pennisetum Americanum×Pennisetum Purpureum.
Abstract: A newly_introduced male sterile line Tift85DA\-4 and interspecific hybridization of Pennisetum americanum and Pennisetum purpureum were studied. The results indicated that Tift85DA\-4 can adapt to the environment in Nanjing area. During the suitable planting period, the whole growth period of Tift85DA\-4 was decreased as planting date was postponed, but the main stem has the steady number of leaves, 22 to 23 leaves. Tift85DA\-4can produce seeds well as male parent plant, Pennisetum purpureum,provided enough pollen. The results also illuminate that flowering time of maternal and paternity can meet well treated the paternity(Pennisetum purpureum var.N 51 )with black plastic cloth when Tift85DA\-4 grows to 14 to15 leaves.
