Millspaugh)\r\nand their implications in seed production"^^ . "Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is an important pulse crop of Indian rainfed agriculture. Of the\r\n3.47 m ha grown under the crop in India with mean productivity of 711 kg/ha, the central and southern India\r\ncontributes over 72.8% in area and 69.5% in production with a mean yield of 649.2 kg/ha.(DAC, 2011). In\r\nspite of dedicated variety breeding efforts, the productivity of pigeonpea has remained unacceptably low\r\nfor over 50 years. Photoperiod and thermoperiod sensitivity and perenniabiltiy are the major issues that\r\ncause hindrance in quality seed production of the crop. To break this yield plateau, a hybrid breeding\r\ntechnology, based on natural out-crossing and cytoplasmic nuclear and genetic male-sterility (CGMS)\r\nsystems were developed at ICRISAT and PJTSAU and a number of hybrids with 30-100% yield advantages\r\noverthe control were identified. Amongthese, ICPH 2740 wasfound most outstanding. In 31 multi-location\r\ntrials conducted over five years, this hybrid (2793 kg/ha) recorded 41% superiority over the ruling variety\r\nAsha (1985 kg/ha). The performance record of hybrids suggests that this technology has a potential for\r\nbreaking yield barrier in pigeonpea. Genome sequencing (Varshney et al. 2012), development of photo\r\ninsensitive super early maturing lines, introgression of cleistogamous flower structure to maintain genetic\r\npurity of elite lines, use of obcordate leaf shape as NEP to assess genetic purity of hybrid parental lines and\r\ndevelopment of disease resistant hybrids and elite breeding lines are some of the recent innovations in the\r\ncrop which offer a scope for the enhancement of production and productivity and ushers the crop as an\r\neconomical viable option by the public and private seed industry."^^ .
