Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis has several advantages over traditional methods of genetic linkage mapping, one of these being the starting point for map-based cloning. The recent development of an RFLP map of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) has allowed the investigati...
A large number of accessions belonging to selected wild Vigna species namely V. unguiculata subspecies dekindtiana, V. oblongifolia, and V. vexillata were evaluated using choice (DCAT) and no-choice (NCFT) laboratory feeding bioassays to determine their resistance to the pod borer, Maruca vitrata...
Legumes are often cited as essential components for sustainable agriculture development in Africa, yet investment in germplasm improvement and in understanding adoption of these important crops has been modest. In this review, we present promising legume options by farming system niche, thus prov...
World agriculture is currently based on very limited numbers of crops, representing a significant risk to food supplies, particularly in the face of climate change which is expected to increase the frequency of extreme events. Minor and underutilised crops can help to develop a more resilient and...
Alley farming involves the cultivation of food crops among hedgerows of multipurpose trees. Use of woody legumes provides N-rich mulch and green manure to maintain soil fertility and enhance crop production, and protein-rich fodder for livestock. The success of alley farming depends on a number o...
The role of the legume in the nitrogen (N) cycle was examined in grazed pastures receiving no N fertilizer of both temperate and tropical regions by simulating the fluxes of N through different processes of the cycle. The amounts of legume‐fixed N required to balance the cycle without invoking a ...
