    • Development of sequence-based markers for seed protein content in pigeonpea 

      Obala, Jimmy; Saxena, Rachit K.; Singh, Vikas K.; Kumar, C. V. Sameer; Saxena, K. B.; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Sibiya, Julia; Varshney, Rajeev K. (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2019)
      Pigeonpea is an important source of dietary protein to over a billion people globally, but genetic enhancement of seed protein content (SPC) in the crop has received limited attention for a long time. Use of genomics-assisted ...

    • Genetic variation and relationships of total seed protein content with some agronomic traits in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) 

      Obala, Jimmy; Saxena, Rachit K.; Singh, Vikas K.; Vechalapu, Suryanarayana; Das, Roma; Rathore, Abhishek; Sameer-Kumar, Chanda V; Saxena, Kulbhushan; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Sibiya, Julia; Varshney, Rajeev K. (Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2018)
      Seed protein content (SPC) is an important grain quality trait, which impacts the nutritional importance of pigeonpea seed in the diet of over a billion people globally. The present study was carried out to determine ...

    • Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop improvement in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) 

      Pazhamala, Lekha; Saxena, Rachit K.; Singh, Vikas K.; Sameerkumar, C. V.; Kumar, Vinay; Sinha, Pallavi; Patel, Kishan; Obala, Jimmy; Kaoneka, Seleman R.; Tongoona, P.; Shimelis, Hussein A.; Gangarao, N. V. P. R.; Odeny, Damaris; Rathore, Abhishek; Dharmaraj, P. S.; Yamini, K. N.; Varshney, Rajeev K. (Frontiers in plant science, 2015)
      Pigeonpea is an important pulse crop grown predominantly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Although pigeonpea growing area has considerably increased, yield has remained stagnant for the last six ...

    • QTL-seq for the identification of candidate genes for days to flowering and leaf shape in pigeonpea 

      Singh, Vikas; Sinha, Pallavi; Obala, Jimmy; Khan, Aamir W.; Chitikinen, Annapurna; Saxena, Rachit K.; Varshney, Rajeev K. (Heredity, 2022)
      To identify genomic segments associated with days to flowering (DF) and leaf shape in pigeonpea, QTL-seq approach has been used in the present study. Genome-wide SNP profiling of extreme phenotypic bulks was conducted for ...

    • Seed protein content and its relationships with agronomic traits in pigeonpea is controlled by both main and epistatic efects QTLs 

      Obala, Jimmy; Saxena, Rachit K.; Singh, Vikas K.; Kale, Sandip M.; Garg, Vanika; Kumar, C.V. Sameer; Saxena, K. B.; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Sibiya, Julia; Varshney, Rajeev K. (Scientific Reports, 2020)
      The genetic architecture of seed protein content (SPC) and its relationships to agronomic traits in pigeonpea is poorly understood. Accordingly, fve F2 populations segregating for SPC and four agronomic traits (seed ...
