India is considered as the center of origin of pigeonpea (Van der Maesen, 1980) because of its natural genetic variability available in the local germplasm and the presence of its wild relatives in the country. .. publisher: PJTSAU date: 2016 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/10763/1/HYBRID%20TECHNOLOGY%E2%80%93A%20NEW%20VISTA%20IN%20PIGEONPEA%20BREEDING.pdf identifier: Sameer Kumar, C V and Wani, S P and Nagesh Kumar, M V and Jaganmohan Rao, P and Saxena, K B and Hingane, A J and Sudhakar, C and Pushpavalli, S N V C L and Yamini, K N and Shruthi, H B and Saxena, R K and Varshney, R K (2016) Hybrid Technology–a new vista in pigeonpea breeding.
