An “Axiom Cajanus SNP Array” based high density genetic map and QTL mapping for high-selfing flower and seed quality traits in pigeonpea
Background
Pigeonpea has considerable extent of insect-aided natural out-crossing that impedes genetic purity of seeds. Pre-anthesis cleistogamy in pigeonpea promotes self-pollination which helps in maintaining genetic ...
Monitoring Changes in the Cultivation of Pigeonpea and Groundnut in Malawi Using Time Series Satellite Imagery for Sustainable Food Systems
Malawi, in south-eastern Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. Food security in the country hinges on rainfed systems in which maize and sorghum are staple cereals and groundnut and pigeonpea are now major ...
Identification of phosphorus use efficient germplasm in lentil, chickpea and pigeonpea
The project will engage in the characterization of germplasm for phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency traits, and mapping genes/QTLs for phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency traits using association mapping.
Origin of early maturing pigeonpea germplasm and its impact on adaptation and cropping systems
Pigeonpea breeding activities started about a century ago and for decades only late maturing cultivars dominated the global cultivation. Historically, no early maturing cultivar was available for a very long time and ...
