abstract: 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.
