“…Based on the range of genetic diversity of the crop in India, it has been concluded that pigeonpea originated in India [2]. Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill sp) is a member of the tribe Phaseoleae which comprises other generaincluding Phaseolus, Vigna and Lablab which contain important grain legumes [3]. Pigeonpea is widely grown in the semi-arid tropics, particularly in the Indian subcontinent where it accounts for over 70% of the world's production and coverage [4].…”

Conventional breeding methods such as mutation breeding could lead to an improvement in the genetic variability in local varieties. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the growth traits and yield attributes in two pigeonpea landraces (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp); white and brown varieties with the native name "fiofio" as used in the eastern part of Nigeria. Seeds of the landraces were obtained from the germplasm collection of the
