Genetic patterns of domestication in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) and wild Cajanus relatives. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is an annual or short-lived perennial food legume of acute regional importance, providing significant protein to the human diet in less developed regions of Asia and Africa.

Superior haplotypes for haplotype-based breeding for drought tolerance in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.). [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J, 2020
Summary Haplotype‐based breeding, a recent promising breeding approach to develop tailor‐made crop varieties, deals with identification of superior haplotypes and their deployment in breeding programmes. In this context, whole genome re‐sequencing data of 292 genotypes from pigeonpea reference set were mined to identify the superior haplotypes for 10 ...

Interspecific hybridization between Cajanus cajan and Cajanus cajanifolius [PDF]

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2007
Interspecific hybridization between five Canajus cajan genotypes viz., ICPL 87, CORG 9302, CORG 5, TAT 93-47 and AS 46 and the wild species C. cajanifolius was attempted. Successful pod set was observed in direct crosses involvingC. cajan as ovule parent

Protease inhibitors of Cajanus conferring resistance to pod borer of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2017
Pigeonpea is susceptible to pod borer damage with resistance lacking in its primary gene pool. Many Cajanus species harbor high levels of resistance. Host plant resistance can play an important role in minimizing the extent of losses due to insects and ...

First-generation HapMap in Cajanus spp. reveals untapped variations in parental lines of mapping populations. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J, 2016
Summary Whole genome re‐sequencing (WGRS) was conducted on a panel of 20 Cajanus spp. accessions (crossing parentals of recombinant inbred lines, introgression lines, multiparent advanced generation intercross and nested association mapping population) comprising of two wild species and 18 cultivated species accessions. A total of 791.77 million paired‐

Genetic diversity and demographic history of Cajanus spp. illustrated from genome-wide SNPs. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2014
Understanding genetic structure of Cajanus spp. is essential for achieving genetic improvement by quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping or association studies and use of selected markers through genomic assisted breeding and genomic selection.

Association of Gene with Cytoplasmic Male Sterility in Pigeonpea [PDF]

The Plant Genome, Volume 8, Issue 2, July 2015., 2015
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been exploited in the commercial pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] hybrid breeding system; however, the molecular mechanism behind this system is unknown. To understand the underlying molecular mechanism involved

Seed protein electrophoresis in plant genetics: Commemorating the pioneering contributions of Prof. Chittaranjan Kole and team to the foundation of plant proteomics. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Despite the rapid progress of proteomics in human and other model organisms, plant proteomics has advanced at a comparatively slower pace. This review aims to highlight the pioneering work on seed protein markers detected by employing gel electrophoresis

Differences between Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh and C. cajanifolius (Haines) van der Maesen, the progenitor species of pigeonpea [PDF]

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2011
A study was undertaken to know the difference/diversity between pigeonpea and its closely related wild species C. cajanifolius by studying their morphology, crossability, cytology of the hybrid between the two, and molecular studies. Studies revealed that there are at least 5–6 traits that separate the two species such as flower morphology, pod color ...
