description: Pigeonpea with limited genetic diversity in the cultivated gene pool, long  crop cycle, almost negligible public funding support to research as  compared to other food crops remained an orphan crop. However, the  development of extensive genetic stocks and genomics resources in recent  years has made significant advances in pigeonpea research. Although  genome sequence, genetic maps and a large set of markers allowed  genome-wide identification of marker–traits associations and their  deployment in breeding programs, there is a need for concerted  community efforts to accelerate genetic gains in the crop breeding  programs. This chapter proposes the use of a number of approaches that  may be targeted by pigeonopea research community so that superior  varieties or hybrids can be developed and disseminated to farmers in  relatively short time. This will help to enhance the income of farmers as  well as contributing to the food, nutritional and environmental sustainability  in developing countries.
