Metagenomic-Based Screening and Molecular Characterization of Cowpea-Infecting Viruses in Burkina Faso.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Cowpea, (Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)) is an annual tropical grain legume. Often referred to as "poor man's meat", cowpea is one of the most important subsistence legumes cultivated in West Africa due to the high protein content of its seeds.

Assessment of the response of fifteen cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp.)] genotypes to infestation by Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. (Coloeptera: Bruchidae)

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2022
Storage of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)] is constrained by the cowpea seed bruchid pest, Callosobruchus maculatus. However, in Ghana, little is known of the responses of cowpea genotypes to infestation by C. maculatus.
