| Description |
In crop improvement, a wild species is valued if it possesses traits of agronomic importance and can be hybridized easily with cultivated species. The genus Cajanus has 32 species, of which only pigeonpea, [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is cultivated. Cajanus scarabaeoides, one of the closely related wild species of pigeonpea, has high level of tolerance to drought and resistance to insectpests. |
