Genomic resources for pigeonpea
Pigeonpea is increasingly playing a critical role in the lives of many farmers in the semiarid
tropics, where it is grown for both
subsistence and commercial use. The recent availability of genomic resources opened a new ...
Environmental Influences on Pigeonpea-Fusarium udum Interactions and Stability of Genotypes to Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium udum Butler) is an important biotic constraint to pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) production worldwide. Breeding for fusarium wilt resistance continues to be an integral part of genetic improvement of ...
Overview of hybrid pigeonpea seed production technology and its on-farm validation
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is known for its high protein grains and it occupies an important place in subsistence agriculture of tropics and sub-tropics. The major constraint of the crop has been its low ...
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 ...
An update on the host plant resistance to pigeonpea diseases
The production and productivity
of pigeonpea is severely constrained by
diseases such as Fusarium wilt, sterility
mosaic disease and Phytophthora blight.
These diseases can be serious alone or as
component of complex. ...
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 - 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 ...
Next-generation sequencing for identification of candidate genes for Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)
Pigeonpea is a resilient crop, which is relatively more drought tolerant than many other
legume crops. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this unique feature of
pigeonpea, 51 genes were selected using the Hidden ...
First-generation HapMap in Cajanus spp. reveals untapped variations in parental lines of mapping populations
Whole genome re-sequencing (WGRS) was conducted on a panel of 20 Cajanus spp. accessions
(crossing parentals of recombinant inbred lines, introgression lines, multiparent advanced
generation intercross and nested association ...
Genetic transformation of pigeonpea: An overview
Biotechnology over the years has
emerged as a promising tool to overcome
biotic and abiotic constraints in crop species
that lack the required traits for crop
improvement through conventional and
molecular breeding approaches. ...
