    Abstract

    Genetic studies on three pigeonpea dwarfs at ICRISAT Center indicated that dwarfism was recessive to tallness. Tall plant stature can therefore be used as a genetic marker in studying natural outcrossing in dwarf pigeonpea genotypes. In the 1986 rainy season, open-pollinated seeds from 99 F2 dwarf plants representing six crosses were harvested. F3 progenies from these selections were grown in two-row plots in the 1987 rainy season. Within each F2-derived F3 family, tall and dwarf plants were counted to estimate the extent of natural outcrossing in the preceding generation.
