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 ...
