Molecular diversity based heterotic groups in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]
A set of 155 hybrid parents was characterized at molecular
level using 24 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers.The
number of alleles amplified ranged from 3 to 41 at an average
of 14.5 alleles per marker and mean ...
Mechanism of water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea
A study was undertaken to identify the morphophysiological
traits associated with water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan L. (Millsp.)].The formation of
aerenchyma cells, lenticels, and adventitious roots in ...
Combining ability studies of pigeonpea CGMS lines with an obcordate leaf marker
Hybrid pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] breeding technology based on CGMS was recently developed. A program was initiated to track the purity of female parental lines by incorporating an obcordate leaf shape marker ...
Believe it or not, hybrid technology is the only way to enhance pigeonpea yields
Pigeonpea yields have remainedunacceptably low over the past five decades and efforts to break this plateau through breeding pure line cultivars did not succeed in its mission. Key successes in breeding stable cytoplasmic ...
Association of nad7a Gene with Cytoplasmic Male Sterility in Pigeonpea
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been exploited in the commercial pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] hybrid breeding system; however, the molecular mechanism behind this system is unknown. To understand the underlying ...
A Short-Cut Approach for Breeding Pigeonpea Hybrids With Tolerance to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses
Lack of stability associated with low productivity have remained key production constraints in pigeonpea for decades.
In this paper, efforts have been made to address these two issues together by breeding high yielding ...
