Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop improvement in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) (original) (raw)

2015, Frontiers in Plant Science

AI-generated Abstract

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is a crucial grain legume, particularly in marginal environments where its productivity is hampered by various biotic and abiotic stresses. This review addresses the application of genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) to overcome these challenges by enhancing stress resistance and productivity. Despite the bottlenecks posed by limited genomic resources and a narrow genetic base, significant progress has been made in developing molecular markers and genetic resources that are key to improving breeding strategies for pigeonpea.
