A number of advances in genetics and genomics research of pigeonpea. These advances have enhanced our understanding of structural and functional aspects of genome and also provided us opportunities to deal with constraints impeding production of pigeonpea in precise and faster manner. Availability of the draft genome sequence and large-scale molecular markers has made it possible to map traits of interest in speedy manner. Although germplasm re-sequencing has already been started in pigeonpea, large-scale germplasm including elite breeding line, landraces and wild species is expected to be fully sequenced very soon.
