Trypsin inhibitor content was determined in the seeds of 21 cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) lines (10 known to be resistant to Callosobruchus maculatus and 11 susceptible) whilst fatty acid composition was determined in 58 lines (11 resistant and 47 susceptible). A wide range in trypsin inhibitor cont...
Data are given on seed characteristics and nutritive value for 6 accessions of 4 wild Vigna taxa (V. vexillata, V. oblongifolia, V. gracilis and V. unguiculata subsp. dekindtiana) and 27 cultivated V. unguiculata varieties. The 100-seed weight ranged from 2 to 6 g among wild and from 6 to 24 g in...

Early embryogenesis up to 8 days after pollination was characterized in V. unguiculata. When crosses were performed between V. unguiculata and wild V. vexillata, seeds were not obtained due to crossability barriers. In most cases pollen tube growth was arrested in the stigmatic tissue. In the 15-...
