Abstract
Inbred Pennisetum americanum progenies with high levels of resistance to Sclerospora graminicola were developed from a highly susceptible cultivar 7042 (IP-2696) by pedigree selection for 5 generations. Extensive variability for plant height, tillering, leaf and earhead type, anther colour and rust resistance was also observed between the progenies. Of the 18 most resistant progenies, 6 were phenotypically similar to the original 7042. It is suggested that hidden residual variability for resistance can be used to renovate commercially useful but S. graminicola susceptible cultivars which would otherwise be discarded because of their susceptibility.
