| Description |
The present communication reports successful breeding of the first temperature-sensitive male-sterility system in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.). This material was derived from a cross involving Cajanus sericeus (Benth. ex Bak.), a wild relative of pigeonpea, and a cultivar (ICPA 85010). The selections demonstrated marked changes in the fertility status of the plants under field conditions in different temperature regimes. At 25C the plants were completely malesterile, while at 24C the same plants became fully male-fertile. These genotypes can be used to develop a two-line hybrid breeding system in pigeonpea. |
