Abstract

Pigeonpea is one of major legume crops grown in the semi arid tropics, particularly in India. Its high sensitivity to salinity poses a major constraint to crop production in certain areas. Salinity is an ever-increasing abiotic stress to the cultivated land, which affects plant growth, development and yield. Here, we have assessed the morphological and physiological variation in pigeonpea for salinity tolerance in 300 genotypes, including the mini core collection of ICRISAT, wild accession and landraces from putatively saline prone areas worldwide.
