Abstract: There were great difference of resistance to kernel smut among foxtail millet varieties,of which there were 79.5% varieties with disease affication or high disease affication.The heredity background of resistance to kernel smut of foxtail millet was very complex.The model of the heredity was quantitative heredity with polygenic control and the heritability was 37.66%.The average and mission value of disease incidence of the parents was significantly negative correlative with high resistance ratio of F2 progeny and r= -0.8446∗∗and -0 8638∗∗.Therefore,to select and mate the crosses correctly was very important to breed varieties resistance to kernel smut.

Key words: Foxtail millet, Kernel smut of millet, Resistant heredity
