Genetic Variability of Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) for Water Logging and Salinity Tolerance under in vitro and in vivo Conditions
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) genotypes acquired from diverse sources, were screened for water logging and salinity tolerance under laboratory and field conditions. Analysis of variance revealed significant ...
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 ...
Study of heterosis and pollen fertility in CGMS based pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan(L.) Millspaugh] hybrids
Twenty CGMS-based pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan(L.) Millspaugh] hybrids were synthesized manually by crossing five CMS lines (A lines) with
11 male lines (R lines) and these hybrids wereevaluated to studyyield potential with ...
Hybrid pigeonpea: Accomplishments and challenges for the next decade
Release of the world’s first commercial pigeonpea hybrid is considered a milestone in the history of legume breeding. At present three commercial hybrids with yield advantages of 30 -50% are available. This has been possible ...
Pigeonpea - A unique jewel in rainfed cropping systems
Pigeonpea is a crop for rainfed
environments endowed with several features
to thrive harsh climate. It adapts well in sole
crop and inter cropped conditions (with
cereals, millets, oils seeds and pulses) by
enhancing the ...
Pigeonpea improvement: An amalgam of breeding and genomic research
In the past five decades, constant research has been directed towards yield
improvement in pigeonpea resulting in the deployment of several commercially
acceptable cultivars in India. Though, the genesis of hybrid technology, ...
Gene action and combining ability estimates using cytoplasmic-genic male sterile lines to develop pigeonpea hybrids for rainfed condition
Pigeonpea is the major source of vegetable protein in
Indian diet. About 72.5 percent area and 62.5 production of
world’s pigeonpea is in India.Pigeonpea is the only food legume
where cytoplasmic-genic male sterility is ...
Integrated Pest Management: Introduction and Expansion of Improved Pigeonpea (Arhar) Production Technology in Rainfed Upland Ecosystems of Odisha
Pest is any organism with features that people notice as damaging which spreads disease or is otherwise annoyance as it destroys agriculture through feeding on crops.
Next-generation sequencing for identification of candidate genes for Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)
To map resistance genes for Fusarium wilt (FW) and sterility mosaic disease (SMD) in pigeonpea,
sequencing-based bulked segregant analysis (Seq-BSA) was used. Resistant (R) and susceptible
(S) bulks from the extreme ...
Pigeonpea seed systems in Asia
Pigeonpea seed systems consist of
the formal and informal seed sector.
However, the informal seed sector
dominates the seed production system.
Majority of rainfed farmers who grow
pigeonpea (about 80% - 90%) save a part ...
