Interspecific Hybridization and Evolutionary Relationships of Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh and Four of the Wild Species P. Balarama1) and V. Padmaja1) 1) Department of Botany, Andhra University (Received December 12, 2001) (Accepted January 30, 2002) Summary: Genetic upgradation of the cultivated species, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh the protein rich pulse crop of tropics was sought through interspecific hybridization involving wild species of the genus as donors for the desirable genes. F1 hybrids obtained between C. cajan×C. cajanifolius and C. sericeus×C. cajan were characterized. On the other hand, C. cajan×C. platycarpus and C. cajan×C. scarabaeoides crosses yielded hybrid pods containing shrivelled, non-viable seed. Based on the data, crossability relationships and phylogenetic affinities among C. cajan and the 4 wild species were elucidated. Keywords: Cajanus cajan, Wild species, Reciprocal crosses, Interspecific hybridization, Phylogeny
