Proteins, inevitable for nutritional security of human beings and legumes, by far, are the cheapest source of this vital nutrient. The escalating prices and never halting population growth limit the per capita availability of protein‐rich legumes. In view of limited land resource and need to grow other food crops, the greater protein harvests are possible only by increasing the protein levels of popularly grown legumes. In this context, attempts were made for raising the protein content in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] through traditional plant breeding tools. For this, the high‐protein trait was successfully transferred from wild relatives of pigeonpea to the cultivated types. In the derived inbred lines, the protein content was significantly enhanced from 20% ‐ 22% to 28% ‐ 30%. Two high‐protein lines HPL 40 and HPL 8 also produced 2100 and 1660 kg/ha grain yield, respectively. This simply means that, in comparison with traditional cultivars, the cultivation of high‐protein lines will provide additional 100 kg/ha of digestible protein to the farming family. This paper, besides describing the breeding procedures, also discusses the accomplishments of this breeding endeavour with respect to its various nutritional and biological properties.

“…It was discovered that the pigeonpea chromosome has 18 metacentric chromosomes and 4 submetacentric chromosomes. The chromosomal shape of the Cajanus genus revealed that it is metacentric and submetacentric (Deodikar and Thakar, 1956). The metacentric shape of the chromosome arm ratio is nearly one.…”

Pigeonpea has 2n= 2x= 22 chromosomes with length ranging from 5.73±1.15 μm to 10.92±2.69 μm. The largest long arm of chromosome pair (q) was 6.22±1.05 μm, while the shortest measured 3.37±0.83 μm. The longest short arm chromosome pair was 4.70±1.65 μm, while the shortest measured 2.37±0.43 μm. Metacentric and submetacentric chromosomal shapes exist in pigeonpea, but metacentric dominating. Pigeonpea’s karyotypic formula is 2n= 2x= 9m+2 sm. In pigeonpea, regardless of maturity groups, the main and foremost goal is to breed for higher yield/area/time. Resistance to diseases including wilt, sterility mosaic, phytophthora and alternaria blights, as well as insect pests like pod borers and pod flies, is being bred for. Resistance to abiotic stresses like drought tolerance can be achieved by osmotic adjustment (OA), dehydration tolerance and relative water content (RWC). Reduced Na and Cl translocation from root to stem, osmoprotectants and the optimal leaf area index (LAI) for salinity tolerance. Many outstanding varieties has been developed in pigeonpea through germplasm selection, pedigree breeding, mutation breeding and Heterosis breeding.
