Inheritance of photo-sensitivity in pigeonpea [PDF]

Indian Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding (The), 2021
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is a short-day legume species and the late maturing genotypes are more photosensitive than early types. To generate information about the inheritance of photo-sensitivity, this study was conducted under natural and artificially extended (16 h) photo-periods using F1, F2 and BC1F1 generations.

Potential of ratooning in pigeonpea [PDF]

Field Crops Research, 1978
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.

Sequencing Pigeonpea Genome [PDF]

, 2017
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.
