| development of new cytoplasmic-genetic male-sterile lines in pigeonpea from crosses between cajanus cajan (l.) millsp.and c. scarabaeoides (l.) thouars. | exploitation of hybrid vigour is quite possible in cross-pollinated crops. however, pigeonpea is a grain legume crop with a moderate level of cross-pollination (20-70%), which is mainly aided by insect pollinators. as a first step, hybrids based on genetic male sterility (gms) were developed in pigeonpea, but the hybrid seed production technique is not farmer-friendly, because in the hybrid seed production plot 50% of the population, which are male-fertile in the female rows, have to be eliminat ... | 2008 | 18670057 |
