Mitochondrial SSRs and their utility in distinguishing wild species, CMS lines and maintainer lines in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)
Analysis of the pigeonpea mitochondrial genome sequence identified 25 SSRs. Mononucleotide SSR motifs were the most abundant repeats followed by dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats. Primer pairs could be designed for 24 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hybrid pigeonpea: Research to reality
Cytoplasmic and genetic male sterility based hybrids in field crops led to tremendous increase in productivity by exploiting the genetic
principles of heterosis. Pigeonpea is an oftencross
pollinated important grain legume ...
Introduction and Expansion of Improved Pigeonpea (Arhar) Production Technology in Rainfed Upland Ecosystems of Odisha
While 70% of the population lives in the rainfed upland ecosystem of Odisha, around 85% of the
workforce depends on agriculture. There are about 8.7 million hectares of agricultural lands in
the state of which 70% are ...
