Genomic Interventions to Improve Resilience of Pigeonpea in Changing Climate

摘要: Pigeonpea is an important food legume crop for rainfed agriculture in developing countries, particularly India. Productivity gains pigeonpea have remained static, and the challenge of improving yield further aggravated by increasingly uncertain climatic conditions. Improved cultivars with favourable traits, allowing them to cope adversities, are urgently required. Modern genomic technologies potential rapidly improve breeding traits that confer resistance biotic abiotic stresses. Recent advances genomics led development large-scale tools accelerate programs. Availability high-density genotyping assays high-throughput phenotyping platforms motivate researchers adopt new techniques like selection (GS) complex traits. Accurate GS predictions inferred from multilocation multiyear data sets also open avenues ‘remote breeding’ which very much required achieve genotype future climates. Speed deployment rapid generation advancement (RGA) will our capacity breed endowed resilient Once such climate-resilient place, their dissemination farmer’s fields be witness real impact. Equally acceleration varietal turnover keep pace unpredictably changing conditions so constantly optimized at any given time.
