Abstract
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 chapter in pigeonpea breeding and has
led to a lot of progress in a relatively short period of time. Molecular markers have been developed and used for germplasm
characterization. Both whole genome and transcriptome sequences have further improved our understanding of the genome. This
review provides a summary of genomic resources available for pigeonpea breeding and also briefly discusses the way forward for
pigeonpea improvement.
