A Wild Cajanus scarabaeoides (L.), Thouars, IBS 3471, for Improved Insect-Resistance in Cultivated Pigeonpea

Agronomy, 2020
Cajanus scarabaeoides (L.), Thouars, is the closest wild crop relative of cultivated pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan (L.), Millspaugh. This wild pigeonpea has several insect-resistance mechanisms, particularly to Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner).

Observations Concerning Rhizobium tropici Bacteroid Phosphorus Stress Response During Symbiosis With Phaseolus vulgaris

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
14CO2 and 32PO4 labelling of bean was used with Rhizobium tropici mutants. An alkaline phosphatase mutant was not affected for bacteroid P acquisition, though bacteroid and nodule 14C‐carbon uptake was altered. The high‐affinity P transporter mutant was defective in nodule P acquisition and symbiotic performance. Plant image by Brgfx/Freepik.

Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop improvement in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Pigeonpea is an important pulse crop grown predominantly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Although pigeonpea growing area has considerably increased, yield has remained stagnant for the last six decades mainly due to the exposure of

Maize-Pigeonpea Intercropping Outperforms Monocultures Under Drought

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
There is an urgent need to develop resilient agroecosystems capable of helping smallholder farmers adapt to climate change, particularly drought. In East Africa, diversification of maize-based cropping systems by intercropping with grain and tree legumes

Pigeonpea Apical Dominance is Controlled for Optimum Yield via Nipping and Planting Distance

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2023
Intensive growth of the pigeonpea crop in Central and South India, caused by adequate rainfall, resulted in taller plants with fewer fruited branches, leading to lower yields.

Exploring the multifaceted dynamics of flowering time regulation in field crops: Insight and intervention approaches

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract The flowering time (FTi) plays a critical role in the reproductive success and yield of various crop species by directly impacting both the quality and quantity of grain yield. Achieving optimal FTi is crucial for maximizing reproductive success and ensuring overall agricultural productivity.

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.
