Effects of Cropping System and Cowpea Variety on Symbiotic Potential and Yields of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Mali

International Journal of Agronomy, 2012
Many cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) have been proposed by research in Mali. None of these varieties were investigated for their symbiotic potential in terms of root nodulation and mycorrhizal infection.

Structural Characterization and In Vitro α‐Amylase Inhibitory and Bile Acid‐Binding Properties of a Glucan Isolated From Fermented Cowpea Natto [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) seeds were fermented with Bacillus subtilis natto, freeze‐dried, milled, and subjected to hot‐water extraction, protein removal, alcohol precipitation, and lyophilization to obtain the crude glucan fraction (JD‐F). JD‐F was further purified by DEAE‐Sepharose Fast Flow anion‐exchange chromatography and size‐exclusion ...

Expression of Bottom Component RNA of Cowpea Mosaic Virus in Cowpea Protoplasts [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1980
Upon inoculation of cowpea protoplasts with the bottom component of cowpea mosaic virus, at least six virus-induced proteins (with sizes of 170, 110, 87, 84, 60, and 32 kilodaltons) are synthesized, but not the capsid proteins (37 and 23 kilodaltons). These bottom-component-induced proteins were studied with respect to their genetic origin

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...
