Abstract
Pennisetum americanum inbred lines JIB11-3-1 and JIB45-1-6 were treated with 0.2 and 0.4% ethyl methanesulphonate for 4-20 h after soaking in water for 8 h. In the M2, dwarf mutants having slow growth, broad, dark-green leaves and semispreading habit were found. They ranged in height from 21-46 cm, compared with the control, which grew to 190 cm. A high tiller number, delayed flowering and a high number of nodes were characteristic of these mutants. Segregation in the M2 indicated monogenic, recessive inheritance
