Abstract
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 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.
