Supplementary Figure 1. Pattern of water extraction from the time of panicle emergence up until maturity in six pearl millet entries, including recurrent parent H77/833-2 and lines introgressed with a terminal drought tolerance QTL from donor PRLT2/89-33 in the background of recurrent parent. Water uptake was measured under late stress (LS) and filled profile (a) or unfilled profile (b), and under early stress (ES) and filled profile (c) or unfilled profile (d). Vertical bars indicate LSD at P<0.05. Timing of intervals indicate the number of weeks after panicle emergence and the water uptake data assigned to each date corresponds to the period, usually one week, preceding that date. Data are means of about 5 lysimeters per water stress and moisture profile combination. a b H77/833-2 ICMH02042 ICMH01029 ICMH01040 c d ICMH 01046 PRLT2/89-33
