Primary gene pool:
• >13,600 accessions
• Sixty-six cultivars based on germplasm and
improved breeding lines developed by ICRISAT have
been released in several countries of Asia (38), Africa
(22), Australia (3) and USA (3). Short and medium
duration cultivars have made a significant impact in
Asian countries. However, long and medium duration
varieties with fusarium wilt resistance and consumer
preferred large, cream colored seeds have created
impacts in eastern and southern Africa.
• Variation for days to flower, maturity, yield,
harvest index, shelling ratio with limited amount
of disease and pest resistance etc.
• High yielding varietiese and useful genetic
stocks
ICRISAT is a member of the CGIAR Consortium
Secondary gene pool
•Compatible wild relatives
•Traits discovered:
• C. acutifolius: A5 CMS system, pod borer, pod fly,
bruchid resistance, phytophthora blight, dwarf plant
type, high seed weight, beige seed color.
• C. lanceolatus: A9 CMS system, bruchid resistance.
ICRISAT is a member of the CGIAR Consortium
Cajanus acutifolius
• A wild relative from secondary gene
pool.
• Native of Auatralia
• Has a repertoire of disease and
pest resistance traits.
• One way cross more successful
than the reciprocal.

A5 CMS system
A5 CMS system was developed utilizing C. acutifolius and with cultivated
pigeonpea cytoplasm.
•First report by Mallikarjuna and Saxena (2005).
•The only system with cultivated pigeonpea
cytoplasm
•Has post meiotic pollen abortion
•Plenty of restorers available
•Maintainers have been identified
•Handed it over to the breeders
ICRISAT is a member of the CGIAR Consortium
Cajanus cajan
Cajanus lanceolatus
Traits of interest transferred: A9 CMS
system, pod borer and bruchid resistance
INTER-SPECIFIC CROSS THAT IS FERTILE
Introgression of traits
A9 CMS system
• A9 CMS system was recently discovered
by us.
• The beauty of the system is that it is
developed on cultivated pigeonpea
cytoplasm.
• It was possible to identify maintainers and
restorers in pigeonpea cultivars
• Will be handed over to breeders shortly.
Tertiary gene pool
•Incompatible Cajanus species
•C. platycarpus: A7CMS,
clasmogamy,pod borer, pod-fly,
bruchid and Phytophthora blight
resistance.
•C.volubilis: dwarf plant type, early
maturity and high pod number.

Molecular analysis
DArT analysis showed
the presence of C.
platycarpus genome
ranging from 2.0 to 4.8%.
The presence of non-
parental alleles,
presumably due to
recombination, ranged
from 2.6 to 10.4%. These
two categories have
contributed to the
variation observed in the
progenies.
Cajanus platycarpus derivatives are showing
variation for plant growth, height, seed
weight, disease and pest resistance

A7 CMS system
A7 CMS system was developed utilizing C. platycarpus, a species from tertiary
gene pool and incompatible with pigeonpea
• First reported by Mallikarjuna et
al., 2011
• Has both pre-meiotic and post-
meiotic pollen abortion.
• Handed over to pigeonpea
breeders in 2012
Meiosis
Premeiotic
Postmeiotic
Important traits of A7 CMS system
• Clasmogamous flowers
• Pre and post meiotic anther abortion
• Non-dehiscent anthers
Publications: Cherian et al., 2007, Mallikarjuna et al., 2012.
Clasmogamous or open flower is an important trait in the development of CMS
systems in pigeonpea. A7 CMS system had open flowers accompanied by
sterile and non-dehiscent anthers, an important trait in this CMS system
