Pigeonpea improvement: An amalgam of breeding and genomic research
This paper emphasizes the ongoing genetic improvement in pigeonpea with an amalgam of conventional breeding as well as genomic research.
Toward the sequence-based breeding in legumes in the post-genome sequencing era
This this article, the authors propose a sequence-based breeding approach which includes use of independent or combination of parental selection, enhancing genetic diversity of breeding programs, forward breeding for early generation selection, and genomic selection using sequencing/genotyping technologies.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of tropical legumes for better livelihoods of smallholder farmers
A review of a decade of significant research and development work on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes.
