"Cytoplasmic and genetic male sterility based hybrids in field crops led to tremendous\r\nincrease in productivity by exploiting the genetic principles of heterosis. Pigeonpea is\r\nan often-cross pollinated important grain legume in rainfed cropping systems, globally\r\ncultivated in 5 million hectares. The productivity in the crop is hovering around 800\r\nkg/ha for the past 6 decades which is unacceptably low. The phenomenon of hybrid\r\nvigor was successfully exploited in the crop by identifying sources of male sterility\r\nfrom the wild relatives. It took three decades of research efforts to develop stable\r\nmaintainers, complete restorers and heterotic hybrid combinations. The hybrids ICPH\r\n2671, ICPH 2740 and ICPH 3762 were released for general cultivation by the farmers\r\nin different agroecoregions of India and a number of other hybrids are in the pipeline.\r\nYield advantage of 30 to 40% (rainfed) and 50 to 60% (irrigated) was realized in\r\nfarmers’ fields over the local varieties. Seed production technology was standardized\r\nby exploiting male sterility and entomophily thereby appreciable amounts of hybrid\r\nseeds were harvested from the seed parent. Conventional and genomic approaches are\r\nunderway to identify candidate genes responsible for fertility restoration, elite parents\r\nwith resistance to fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease and heterotic gene pools\r\nto breed adaptive hybrids for different niches across the globe."^^ .
