Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is the second most important pulse crop of India known for its rich protein and ve rsatil e use s. Pigeonpe a e xhibits differential ge notypic re sponse to varying photoperiods, whil e its response to exogenous gibberellic acid (GA3 ) has rarely been studi ed. ‘TDT2004-1’ is an interspecific derivative with D0 type compact dwarf plant type. The present investigation was conceived, with a view to studying the response of compact dwarf plant type ‘TDT2004-1’ to varying natural photoperiod and exogenous GA3. The flowering response to photoperiod was studied by conducting a monthly sowing trial in pots, while the response to GA3 was assayed in vivo under controlled conditions in growth chambe r. ‘TDT2004-1’ exhibited a qual itative short day photoperiodic response, while it was insensitive to exogenous GA3 up to concentrations of 100 ppm. The study connotes that short-duration pigeonpea is also photoperiod-sensitive unlike otherwise and that ‘TDT 2004-1’ could be used to evolve rabi / rice fallow cultivable varieties. It also serves as a valuable ge neti c materi al for providing insight into GA3-medi ated processes.
