Enhancing the value of genetic resources for use in pigeonpea improvement
The ICRISAT genebank
conserves over 13,700 accessions of
pigeonpea from 74 countries. The collection
serves as insurance against genetic erosion
and provides rich source of diversity for crop
improvement. Pigeonpea ...
Interspecific hybridization to introduce useful genetic variability for pigeonpea improvement
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L. ) Millspaugh) is an import ant grain legume grown in t ropical and subt ropical regions of t he world. Narrow
genet ic base coupled wit h low levels of resist ance ...
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, ...
Pre-breeding to expand primary genepool through introgression of genes from wild Cajanus species for pigeonpea improvement
Narrow genetic base coupled with
low levels of resistance against important
biotic/abiotic stresses in cultivated
pigeonpea is the major constraint affecting
its production and productivity globally.
Wild Cajanus species ...
