Abstract

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) is an important food legume crop predominantly cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa and also plays an important role in food and nutritional security due to rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Pigeon pea has a unique place in Indian farming and India accounts for about 90% of the global production. Pigeon peas have been reported of phytoplasma diseases worldwide associated with the visual symptoms such as witches’-broom, little leaf, floral malformation, stunting of whole plant. Phytoplasma strains belonging to the Pigeon Pea Witches’-Broom (PPWB;16SrIX group), subgroup IX-A, IX-C, little leaf disease associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ (16SrI); phytoplasma ‘Candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia” (16SrII group) have been reported on pigeon pea worldwide. This review article focused brief current status of phytoplasma disease associated with pigeon pea of India as well as abroad.
