INTRODUCTION Botanical Name: Cajanus cajan (L.) Family: Fabaceae (Leguminosae) Chromosome Number: 2n=2x=22 Origin: Hindustan. Pigeon pea was introduced in China about 1,500 years ago [147]. It is considered a good crop for areas with less irrigation. These are the first genetic linkage maps developed for pigeon pea, and this is the first report of genetic mapping in any grain legume using diversity arrays technology. The present investigation aims at developing faster method using molecular methods using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for ten varieties of pigeon pea … These effects may attribute to pigeon pea contained large of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA; C18:2) and phytosterol (β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol). 1 . Pigeonpea is an often cross pollinated (20-70%) crop with 2n = 2x = 22 diploid chromosome number. Chromosome 8 of pigeonpea did not show high synteny with any specific chromosomes of soybean but it showed highest number of match with chromosomes 13 and 14. However, chromosome number varies by species, for example a normal pigeon zygote would have 80 chromosomes. Chromosome 9 showed high number of matches with chromosomes 2, 12, 3, 11 and 16 of soybean. to produce lac resin. .7 Breeding pigeon pea 24 1.7.1 Breeding techniques in pigeon pea 25 1.7.2 Breeding for disease resistance in pigeonpea 26 1.7.3 Breeding for Fusarium wilt resistance in pigeon pea 27 1.8 Mechanisms of host plant disease resistance 27 1.9 Genetics of Fusarium wilt resistance in pigeon pea 28 Pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp.] 2001;Yanget al. Cajanus/genetics* Chromosome Mapping* Chromosomes, Plant/genetics All zygotes have their adult number of chromosomes, once again assuming there are … Carbohydrates, calcium, iron, and minerals are found in sufficient quantity in it, due to being a pulse crop, it also increases the fertility of the soil. vated pigeon pea lines using a limited number of SSR and DArT markers (Burns et al. Identification of resistance gene analogs (RGAs) is important for development of resistant varieties. Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan), an important grain legume, is susceptible to Fusarium wilt (FW), sterility mosaic disease (SMD), and Phytophthora blight. The major pigeon pea producing countries in the Moreover, the effects of pigeon pea on dyslipidemia were greater than β-sitosterol administration (4%), suggesting that phytosterone in pigeon pea could prevent metabolic syndrome. is an important legume of the tropics, sub-tropics and warmer regions of the world. Pigeon Pea Crop Farming Guide – Additional benefits can be taken by growing tur as a mixed crop along with any other crop.It is the main Kharif crop. In Yunnan and other southern provinces pigeon pea was grown for rearing lac insect ( Kerria lacca Kerr.) Chromosome 10 showed highest number of matches with chromosomes 18, 17 and 2 of soybean.
