Cowpea is seed propagated and when mature seeds are properly dried they could remain viable over a period of time depending on the genotype and storage conditions. Due to heat and dry conditions seeds of cultivated cowpea that remain in the fields after harvest usually do not retain viability for...

For a mixture of reasons certain tropical crops which are important as primary or secondary food staples are relatively underresearched. The modem tools of molecular and cellular biotechnology offer the opportunity not only to make substantial gains in our knowledge of these crops, but also to ov...

The importance of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, in human and animal nutrition and sustainability of soil fertility are recognized globally especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where the crop is mainly produced in the Savanna and the Sahelian agro ecologies. However, cowpea productivity is adversel...

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...

The genus Vigna comprises seven subgenera and sixteen sections. Cowpea, Vigna tingnicnlatti (L.) Walp.. is an important grain legume crop in sub-Saharan Africa and belongs to the subgenus Vigna. section Ctitiang. Morphologically, cowpea genotypes appear very variable. However, a high level of gen...
