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.

The purpose of this work was to morphologically characterize and describe the vegetative cycle of eleven previously selected pigeon-pea lines submitted to self pollination, selection and multiplication, to obtain pure lines. All descriptions were accomplished through the use of internationally accepted descriptors for the species and it was concluded that all eleven lines can be easily distinguished by means of their morphological traits.

The purpose of this work was to characterize morphologically seventeen previously selected pigeon-pea lines that went, after selection, through processes of self pollination, selection and multiplication, to obtain pure lines. It also had the objectives of checking the efficiency of the descriptors and describing its vegetative cycle. It was possible to perform the description and to conclude that the seventeen lines have distinct characteristics and can easily be identified by these traits. The used descriptors could properly perform this task […]
