Description Maintaining the genetic integrity of germplasm accessions
during regeneration is of paramount importance in ex situ
conservation of plant genetic resources. In pigeonpea
(Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) where outcrossing by
insects ranges from 3 to 26% (Reddy et al. 2004),
regeneration is costly in terms of time and resources
(Remanandan et al. 1988). The problems are compounded
when several hundred germplasm accessions need to be
regenerated in a season. Nestor and Ramanatha Rao
(1998), analyzing the information on seed germplasm
regeneration, noted much conjecture and uncertainty
over regeneration procedures employed by genebanks.
Therefore, the development of optimal procedures for
regeneration, to preclude contamination of pollination, is
vital to maintain genetic integrity of pigeonpea accessions...
