description: Pigeonpea is an important food legume crop of semi-arid tropical regions. Plateauing  of pigeonpea yield has been worrying breeders for the past 6–7 decades. Serious  breeding efforts made during this period resulted in various high-yielding and disease  resistant cultivars. However, the gains in pigeonpea productivity have been modest.  The authors, while reviewing this situation, conclude that long generation turnover,  complexity of biological traits, low selection response and overreliance upon  pedigree breeding present the key bottlenecks for this situation. In this paper, some  alternative breeding approaches and technologies are suggested for the genetic enhancement  of yield stability and stress response of pigeonpea.
