Novel CMS lines in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh] derived from cytoplasmic substitutions, and their effective restoration and deployment in hybrid breeding

The availability of stable cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS or A) lines coupled with a robust restoration system (R lines) is an essential prerequisite for efficient hybrid breeding. CMS-enabled hybrid technology holds immense potential to enhance the long-stagnant productivity of pigeonpea. In the pre...
