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 ...
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 ...
Genetic Enhancement of Seed Proteins in Pigeonpea – Methodologies, Accomplishments, and Opportunities
The food and nutritional security in India is assuming alarming situation as the protein availability in the decade
ending 2009 has reduced from the recommended 46 g/head/day to < 25 g. This is leading a wide spread ...
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 ...
