In vitro propagation of Cajanus cajan × C. cajanifolius hybrid and its characterization using cyto-morphological and SSR markers [PDF]
Nucleus (India), 2018 Cajanus cajanifolius, the putative progenitor species of pigeonpea (C. cajan), has many agro-economic traits that deserve attention for introgression into pigeonpea cultivars. However, unidirectional compatibility creates barriers for interspecific hybridization and alien gene transfer between these two species.

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 ...
