The experiment was conducted to test the in vitro regeneration efficiency of cowpea shoots via
embryonic axes explants and the effect of benzyl amino purine (BAP) concentration on shoot formation.
A total of 600 explants (embryonic axes) were plated from which 237 shoots were regenerated. The

A rapid and reproducible in vitro plant regeneration procedure was developed for embryonic axis explants of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp]. Moderate levels of 6-benzylaminopurine (0.5-2 mg l-1) were effective in inducing multiple shoots on decapitated embryonic axes on a Murashige and Skoog...
Eleven Nigerian cassava landraces with desirable pest and disease resistance were evaluated for 18 agronomic and tuber quality traits along with two popularly grown cultivars including an improved genotype. The improved cultivar TMS 30572 gave the highest yield, but had certain undesirable qualit...
The study described a T-DNA vectorwith a Cassava veinmosaic virus promoter cassette (pCsVMV) and a kanamycin
selectable marker gene driven by the 35S Cauliflower mosaic virus promoter with a view to stably express
transgenes over repeated cycles of clonal propagation. A ?-glucuronidase reporter g...
