Vigna vexillata is a wild cross-incompatible relative of cowpea. It is highly resistant to several diseases and pests plaguing cowpea. A linkage map was developed for V. vexillata comprising 120 markers, including 70 random amplified polymorphic DNAs, 47 amplified fragment length polymorphisms, o...

Cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch) is a major pest of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) particularly in the drier regions of the tropics. Although aphid resistant varieties had been developed, resistance has recently broken down. The present study seeks to identify new sources of resistance. ...
