Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Pigeonpea ( (L.) Millspaugh) and (L.) Thouars: Genome Organization and Comparison with Other Legumes.

Pigeonpea ( (L.) Millspaugh), a diploid (2n = 22) legume crop with a genome size of 852 Mbp, serves as an important source of human dietary protein especially in South East Asian and African regions. In this study, the draft chloroplast genomes of and (L.

Identification of simple sequence repeat markers associated with wilt resistance in pigeonpea.

The present study was carried out with the objective of identifying markers for Fusarium wilt resistance in pigeonpea using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and bulk segregant analysis (BSA). The wilt resistant (ICPL 87119) and wilt susceptible (T. Vishakha-1) genotypes were crossed and their F2 population was used for marker analysis.
