%X D1-type dwarf Cajanus cajan plants, identified in ICPX73081 (EC100465 X GW3-191-1), were crossed with 4 tall varieties: Prabhat and Pant A2 (early), 148 (midseason) and NP(WR)15 (late). Segregation patterns in the F1, F2 and backcross generations indicated that D1 dwarfness was a monogenic, homozygous, recessive trait., 7 ref., D1-type dwarf Cajanus cajan plants, identified in ICPX73081 (EC100465 X GW3-191-1), were crossed with 4 tall varieties: Prabhat and Pant A2 (early), 148 (midseason) and NP(WR)15 (late).
