Farmers’ preferences for climate-smart cowpea varieties: implications for crop breeding programmes
Climate and Development, 2021 Despite sustained efforts to promote climate-smart technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), adoption remains low. At the same time, the downside risks associated with climate change and food insecurity are becoming acute.

Genetic mapping, synteny, and physical location of two loci for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. tracheiphilum race 4 resistance in cowpea [Vignaunguiculata (L.) Walp]. [PDF]
, 2013 Fusarium wilt is a vascular disease caused by the fungus Fusariumoxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum (Fot) in cowpea [Vignaunguiculata (L.) Walp]. In this study, we mapped loci conferring resistance to Fot race 4 in three cowpea RIL populations: IT93K-503-1 ...

The genome of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.)
bioRxiv, 2019 Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is a major crop for worldwide food and nutritional security, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, that is resilient to hot and drought-prone environments. A high-quality assembly of the single-haplotype inbred genome of

Physical and cooking characteristics of two cowpea cultivars grown in temperate Indian climate
Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 Two local cowpea cultivars (Red cowpea and Black cowpea) were studied for various physical, cooking and textural properties. The moisture, crude protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate content of seeds ranged from 10.0% to 10.1%, 21.29–23.90%, 0.49–1.94%, 19 ...

Screening of cowpea accessions for cowpea aphid resistance [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2020 ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) genotypes may preserve important characteristics of potential use for the genetic breeding of this species. This study aimed to characterize sources of genetic resistance to the cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora), among accessions maintained at the cowpea germplasm bank of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (Brazil), in ...
