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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Plant growth-promotion traits of Streptomycessp. in pigeonpea
The aim of this study was to evaluate three strains of Streptomyces(CAI21,
CAI26
and MMA 32), demonstrated previously to have
potential for control of charcoal rot disease in sorghum and plant growth promotion (PGP) in ...
Plant growth‑promotion and biofortification of chickpea and pigeonpea through inoculation of biocontrol potential bacteria, isolated from organic soils
Seven strains of bacteria [Pseudomonas plecoglossicida SRI-156, Brevibacterium antiquum SRI-158, Bacillus altitudinis
SRI-178, Enterobacter ludwigii SRI-211, E. ludwigii SRI-229, Acinetobacter tandoii SRI-305 and Pseudomonas ...
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 ...
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 ...
Overview of pigeonpea research in Myanmar
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.)
Millsp.) is the third most important pulse in
Myanmar. Aberrant weather and climatic
abnormalities significantly reduced the crop
productivity in present-day rain-fed
agriculture. Adoption of ...
