It has a number of usages starting from protein rich food to vegetarian families; fuel wood; nitrogen supplier to soil; recycling minerals in soil to animal feed etc. Pigeonpea has been considered to be originated and domesticated in central India from where it travelled to different parts of the world such as Africa and Latin America. In ongoing scenario of climate change, biotic and especially abiotic stresses will make the conditions more challenging for entire agriculture. This volume focusing on the pigeonpea genome will collate the information on the genome sequencing and its utilization in genomics activities, with a focus on the current findings, advanced tools and strategies deployed in pigeonpea genome sequencing and analysis, and how this information is leading to direct outcomes for plant breeders and subsequently to farmers. 410 0$aCompendium of Plant Genomes,$x2199-479X 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant Genetics 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aAgriculture 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aPlant Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a633.37 702 $aVarshney$b Rajeev K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSaxena$b Rachit K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJackson$b Scott A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253958603321 996 $aPigeonpea Genome$94326794 997 $aUNINA
