Botanical description of selected pigeon-pea pure lines

This work aimed to perform the morphologic characterization of eleven previously selected Cajanus cajan lines. The main descriptors were: plant height (cm), number of branches, stem diameter (mm), basic flower color, basic pod color, seed color, seed hilum color, hilum thickness, and seed shape. The descriptors used were sufficient to characterize the lines with distinct characteristics. Using these descriptors the lines may be easily identified.
