description: Several alternative marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) procedures are described that can be used for  transferring quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from a donor to an elite recurrent parent when these two lines  have been used in forming the base mapping population. We describe ICRISAT’s experience to date in  using these methods in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.). We are attempting to improve  terminal drought tolerance of elite inbred pollinator H 77/833-2 using donor PRLT 2/89-33, and elite  inbred seed parent maintainer line ICMB 841 using donor 863B. The advantages and disadvantages of the  alternatives are discussed
