Abstract
SUMMARY Four hybrids of pearl millet ( Pennisetutn typhoides ) were screened for photoperiod sensitivity in a heated temperate glasshouse and the effects of 12 h short day induction on the reproductive development and plant morphology were examined. All the hybrids (BK 560, MBH 104, MBH 110 and ICH 105) responded to 14 short days by a considerable reduction in the time to anthesis, plant height and the final number of leaves produced, without any adverse effect on head development. In another experiment BK 560 required at least four short days for floral initiation and another four for subsequent development. Short day induction had no apparent effect on the rate of leaf appearance. The results were compared to those reported for millets in general and to millets grown in the tropics.
