Rate of cell development in embryo and endosperm during the 1st 4 days after pollination was similar in 2 lines of P. americanum under field conditions. 1st division of the endosperm nucleus was complete within 6 h after pollination. Synchronous mitoses, the mitotic cycle, divisions within the embryo and the endosperm and embryo volume increases are described.

Pearl millet is the choice crop in the semi-arid tropics. Strong winds, intense storms, high solar radiation and extreme temperatures are characteristics of these zones. Germination and seedling establishment are the major problems and are commonly associated with low moisture availability, high temperature of the soil and soil crusting. Water stress can affect germination by delaying initiation of germination, slowing rate of germination or by decreasing final germination percentage.
