Genomics for greater efficiency in pigeonpea hybrid breeding [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Cytoplasmic genic male sterility (CGMS) based hybrid technology has demonstrated its immense potential in increasing the productivity of various crops, including pigeonpea. This technology has shown promise for breaking the long-standing yield stagnation in pigeonpea.

Putrescine eases saline stress by regulating biochemicals, antioxidative enzymes, and osmolyte balance in hydroponic strawberries (cv. Albion)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Salinity is a significant abiotic stress factor that causes considerable damage to many plants through various mechanisms. In this study, the ameliorative effect of putrescine (100, 150, and 200 ppm) on salinity stress (1 g L−1 NaCl) was investigated in strawberry cv. Albion grown in hydroponic culture.

The alternative breeding approaches for improving yield gains and stress response in pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan )

, 2020
Pigeonpea is an important food legume crop of semi-arid tropical regions. Plateauing of pigeonpea yield has been worrying breeders for the past 6–7 decades. Serious breeding efforts made during this period resulted in various high-yielding and disease

Evaluation of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) genotypes against pigeonpea sterility mosaic disease

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2019
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is a drought-resistant pulse crop cultivated in the semi-arid regions of the world. Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) also known as “green plague of pigeonpea” is one of the severe threats in pigeonpea production causing severe yield loss.

Impact of rainfall variability on major crops using the deficient rainfall impact parameter (DRIP): A case study over Karnataka, India

Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
The impact of rainfall and farmers' crop selection under rainfall aberration was assessed using the long‐term historical datasets on rainfall and crop production datasets of Karnataka, a rainfed state of India. A direct link between rainfall and area under different crops was observed, and was not true for many crops since there was a crop shift ...

The flavonoid profile of pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan: a review [PDF]

SpringerPlus, 2015
Abstract Background Pigeonpea is ranked as the sixth largest grain legume produced by volume and as such is a major global food crop for livestock and human consumption. We show that pigeonpea contains a number of flavonoids and report their distribution and concentration within different parts of the plant.
