Description Release of the world’s first
commercial pigeonpea hybrid is considered a
milestone in the history of legume breeding.
At present three commercial hybrids with
yield advantages of 30 -50% are available.
This has been possible due to success
breeding of (i) a stable CMS system, (ii)
quality fertility restorers, and (iii)
standardized seed production technology. To
sustain the achievements of this
breakthrough, it is essential that superior
hybrids are bred at regular intervals. In this
communication an attempt has been made to
highlight the achievements of hybrid
breeding and consolidate strategies to
develop new high yielding hybrids and their
seed technology using the latest breeding and
genomics tools.
