Narrative
Dwarf population made from intermating nine genetically diverse inbreds each of which restored male fertility on the A4 cms system which uses Pennisetum glaucum ssp. monodii cytoplasm. Ninety-three to 97% of plants were male fertile in topcrosses on 3 different A4 steriles, with no instances of partial fertility. New source for lines which will restore male fertility on A4 cms sterile lines
