Description A record of out-crossing in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan
(L.) Millsp.) from 32 locations indicated a large variation within
and across 12 countries of Asia, Africa, and Americas. Pigeonpea
breeders have exploited the natural hybrids within landraces for
developing high yielding inbred cultivars in different countries.
Similarly, natural hybrids selected from wild relatives of
pigeonpea have been used to breed male sterility systems. During
the last 40 years the importance of natural out-crossing in genetic
enhancement of yield in pigeonpea has been well recognized,
particularly in developing commercial hybrid technology; and it
has allowed thousands of Indian farmers to harvest 30-40% more
grains. This review provides an update on various aspects of
natural out-crossing such as pollinating agents, extent of outcrossing,
factors influencing out-crossing; besides this, the
successful role of out-crossing in the genetic enhancement of
yield in pigeonpea has also been discussed.
