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 ...
Exciting journey of 10 years from genomes to fields and markets: Some success stories of genomics-assisted breeding in chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut
Legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, mostly grown in marginal environments, are
the major source of nutrition and protein to the human population in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These
crops, however, ...
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 ...
Strategies for pigeonpea improvement
In order to feed an ever-increasing population, it is essential to deal yieldreducing factors. Climate smart crop varieties that yield more with fewer inputs will be required to achieve the success. In this scenario pigeonpea ...
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 ...
Heterosis in cms based hybrids of Pigeonpea [cajanus cajan (l.) Millsp.]
An investigation on heterosis in CMS based hybrids of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan
(L.) Millsp.] was carried out during kharif 2015 at International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru ...
Genomic resources for pigeonpea
Pigeonpea is increasingly playing a
critical role in the lives of many farmers in
the semi-arid tropics, where it is grown for
both subsistence and commercial use. The
recent availability of genomic resources
opened a new ...
Analysis of genotyping-by-sequencing dataset of PRIL_A segregating for FW resistance
Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to identify and genotype SNPs. As a result, a high density genetic maps with 964 SNPs with an average marker distance of 1.16 cM was developed in PRIL_A. Based on the ...
Accomplishments and challenges of pigeonpea breeding research in India
igeonpea [ Cajanus cajan (L. ) Millsp. ] is a prot einrich pulse crop which can grow well under soil moist ure limit ed environment s. The
crop can play a signif icant role in meet ing t ...
Characterization and genetic potential of African pearl millet named landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The world collection of pearl millet at ICRISAT genebank includes 19,696 landraces. Passport and characterization data of 2,929 accessions belonging to 89 named landraces originating in 15 countries of Africa was used to ...
