A number of recent studies have added further information on the genetics of important traits in cowpea. These include inheritance of qualitative traits such as plant pigmentation; flower colour, seed colour, seed coat texture, resistance to rust, scab, smut, nematode, severe mosaic virus, Striga...

Challenges and opportunities for enhancing sustainable cowpea production: proceedings of the World Cowpea Conference III held at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria, 48 September 2000
Cowpea is grown mainly for its protein-rich grains, which is consumed in various forms in sub-Saharan Africa. Average grain yield in farmers' fields is generally low due to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. The most important of the biotic stress factors causing extensive grain yield losse...

Breeding cowpea for resistance to insect pests: attempted crosses between cowpea and Vigna vexillata
Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, is an important grain legume adapted to the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where it contributes to the nutrition, health, and income of rural and suburban inhabitants. It is indigenous to SSA with both cultivated and wild relatives distributed across the whole subregion. The ...

Responses of cowpea genotypes to rock phosphate application
Cowpea is an important crop for food security, as it is a primary source of protein and cash income for farmers in the dry
savanna areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Improved varieties should contain reasonable amounts of protein in the grains, and to
ensure this, timely and cost-effective analytical m...

Increasing cowpea productivity combining rock phosphate and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation in sub-Saharan Africa
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a major tropical legume crop grown in warm to hot areas throughout the world and especially important to the people of sub-Saharan Africa where the crop was domesticated. To date, relatively little is understood about its domestication origins and patterns...
