Abstract
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, the biggest
breakthrough, enigma of stagnant productivity still remains unsolved. To sort this
productivity disparity, genomic research along with conventional breeding was successfully initiated at ICRISAT. It endowed ample genomic resource providing insight
in the pigeonpea genome combating production constraints in a precise and speedy
manner. The availability of the draft genome sequence with a large‐scale marker
resource, oriented the research towards trait mapping for flowering time, determinacy, fertility restoration, yield attributing traits and photo‐insensitivity. Defined
core and mini‐core collection, still eased the pigeonpea breeding being accessible
for existing genetic diversity and developing stress resistance. Modern genomic
tools like next‐generation sequencing, genome‐wide selection helping in the appraisal of selection efficiency is leading towards next‐generation breeding, an awaited
milestone in pigeonpea genetic enhancement. This paper emphasizes the ongoing
genetic improvement in pigeonpea with an amalgam of conventional breeding as
well as genomic research.
