Abstract excerpt
Global warming severely impacts crop productivity, particularly in the Global South. Tropical pulse crops are nutritious staples and tolerant to harsh conditions, such as pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan). Two pigeonpea varieties have superior qualities, also with respect to abiotic stress tolerance: drought-tolerant Pusa Arhar 16 (PA16) and moderately drought-sensitive Pusa 992 (PA99). However, both are understudied at...
