| book description |

Grown primarily by the smallholder farmers in tropical and subtropical regions, pigeonpea is pivotal to subsistence agriculture in Aisa, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Last two decades have witnessed several research breakthroughs in pigeonpea. Following soybean, pigeonpea became the second food legume crop for which the whole genome sequence made available for use in genetic research and breeding. Since then, there have been tremendous efforts to develop and implement cutting-edge technologies for improving pigeonpea. These include genome sequencing of the wider germplasm sets, development of pangenome, mapping of economically-important traits, multi-omics studies and gene editing among others. Given this, our book Designing Pigeonpea Genome for a Future-Ready Crop explores the current trends in pigeonpea research together with underscoring potential future directions and the challenges that lie ahead. Features Â· Presents the achievements of genomics research and molecular breeding of pigeonpea Â· Current status of using wild relatives for pigeonpea improvement and optimized strategies to accelerate identification and incorporation of new genetic variation in breeding programs Â· The significance of mutation breeding in pigeonpea varietal improvement and future opportunities for integrating mutation-based techniques with cost-effective high-throughput approaches Â· Discussion on growing access to muti-omics datasets, pangenome diversity and genomic prediction studies and their relevance to future varietal development Â· Demonstrates applications of generation advancement techniques such as speed breeding to accelerate breeding decisions and genetic gain in pigeonpea Â· The scope of brining heritable genetic changes for improving pigeonpeaâ€™s response to biotic and abiotic stresses through implementation of modern gene-editing methods The different chapters in this book have been contributed by the experts in the field. The book will serve as a comprehensive and reliable source for researchers and academicians and inform policy decisions.
