Abstract
This pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) parental line (PI597491), released in 1996, was derived via random-mating 11 phenotypically similar inbred lines derived from Bold Seeded Early Composite (BSEC) and the ICRISAT 1989 Potential Restorer Line Trial via selection for resistance to downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola) and early maturity. ICMR501 is the pollinator population of pearl millet grain hybrid GICH501 (Jawahar Bajra Hybrid 1). ICMR501 produced a grain yield of 3825 kg/ha at Patancheru, flowers early (43 to 44 days to 50% flowering) and produces fertile hybrids on ICMA1 and other male-sterile lines having A1 cytoplasm. It is phenotypically uniform and is a source of stable downy mildew resistance.
