Maternal inheritance of male sterility in the progeny of a natural hybrid between Cajanus lineatus and C. cajan [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Abstract Adoption of pigeonpea hybrids in central and southern India is showing high impact with on-farm yield advantages of ¿30%. The hybrid pigeonpea technology, the first in any legume crop, is based on a cytoplasmic-nuclear male-sterility (CMS) system. For a long-term sustainability of hybrid programme, it is imperative that both nuclear diversity and cytoplasmic diversity are maintained among hybrid parents. In this context, a continuous search for new CMS-inducing cytoplasms is necessary. This paper reports detection of maternal inheritance of male sterility in the progeny derived from a natural hybrid between a wild relative [Cajanus lineatus (W. & A.) Maesen comb. nov.] of pigeonpea and an unknown pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] genotype. In the present study, the male sterility was maintained up to BC7F1 generation by an advanced breeding pigeonpea line ICPL 99044. This male sterility inducing cytoplasm of C. lineatus was tagged as A6. In future, this CMS genetic stock can be used to develop a range of new pigeonpea hybrids with high yield and adaptation.
