Effect of gamma irradiation on physicochemical properties of stored pigeon pea (
AbstractThe effect of gamma irradiation at various doses (5, 10, 15, 20 kGy) was observed on pigeon pea flour stored for 3 months on proximate composition, functional properties, and peroxide value. Sensory evaluation was also carried out on bean cake (moinmoin) made from nonirradiated and irradiated pigeon pea flour.

Maternal inheritance of male sterility in the progeny of a natural hybrid between Cajanus lineatus and C. cajan [PDF]
AbstractAdoption of pigeonpea hybrids in central and southern India is showing high impact with on‐farm yield advantages of >30%. The hybrid pigeonpea technology, the first in any legume crop, is based on a cytoplasmic‐nuclear male‐sterility (CMS) system.

Interspecific hybridization betweenCajanus cajan(L.) Millsp. andC. lanceolatus(WV Fitgz) van der Maesen [PDF]
Cultivated pigeonpea has a narrow genetic base. Wild relatives play an important role in the efforts to broaden its genetic base. In this report, we present a successful wide-cross between the cultivated pigeonpea andCajanus lanceolatus, a wild relative from the secondary gene pool, native to Australia, with desirable traits such as frost and drought ...
