Potential of ratooning in pigeonpea [PDF]
Yield trials of pigeonpea cultivars grouped into early, medium, and late maturity were harvested for grain at maturity by ratooning (cutting the plants off above the branching level). Plant survival after ratooning and regrowth varied among cultivars in all tests.

Inheritance of Growth Habit in Pigeonpea [PDF]
Determinate (DT) pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] has a production advantage but the genetics of this trait and indeterminate (IDT)and semideterminate (SDT) growth habits are not well defined. Inheritance of DT, SDT, and IDT growth habits in short duration pigeonpea was studied in F1, F2, and BC1F1 generations of 15 crosses involving six parents (

Pigeonpea was labeled as an orphan crop but is now a trendy and pacesetter, with ample genetic and genomic information becoming available in recent times. It is now possible to cross wild relatives not only from the Cajanus group placed in the secondary and tertiary gene pool but also the related genera placed in the quaternary gene pool.

Sequencing Pigeonpea Genome [PDF]
Availability of draft genome has brought quantum jump in pigeonpea status and facilitated to move it to the league of genomic resource rich crops. It is important to mention that pigeonpea became the first orphan and non-industrial grain legume in 2012 to have the draft genome sequence.

Phenotyping Chickpeas and Pigeonpeas for Adaptation to Drought [PDF]
The chickpea and pigeonpea are protein-rich grain legumes used for human consumption in many countries. Grain yield of these crops is low to moderate in the semi-arid tropics with large variation due to high GxE interaction. In the Indian subcontinent chickpea is grown in the post-rainy winter season on receding soil moisture, and in other countries ...

Translational Pigeonpea Genomics Consortium for Accelerating Genetic Gains in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) [PDF]
Pigeonpea is one of the important pulse crops grown in many states of India and plays a major role in sustainable food and nutritional security for the smallholder farmers. In order to overcome the productivity barrier the Translational Pigeonpea Genomics Consortium (TPGC) was established, representing research institutes from six different states ...
