Abstract
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. New
engineering tools are now available not only
for single gene traits, but also to engineer
multiple genes or plant regulatory machinery
for driving the expression of different stressresponsive
genes. Here, we discuss the
recent progress and current status of
transgenic technology in pigeonpea towards
developing host plant resistance to various
biotic and abiotic stresses and its use in the
improvement of this important pulse crop
