Interference between Cowpea Mosaic Virus and Cowpea Severe Mosaic Virus in a Cowpea Host Immune to Cowpea Mosaic Virus

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1987
Summary Infection of a cowpea line by cowpea severe mosaic virus (CPSMV) was inhibited by cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) even though the plants were immune to CPMV. The inhibition was dose-dependent and was complete if CPMV was added to the inoculum in a 50-fold excess over CPSMV.

Farmers and Agricultural Extension Officers Perception of Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke Parasitism on Cowpea in the Upper East Region of Ghana

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, 2018
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is an important food security crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, cowpea production in some parts of this region is constrained by Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke infestation resulting in yield losses.

Varieties’ Response of Vegetable Cowpea to Mechanical Inoculation of Cowpea Aphid-Borne Mosaic Virus in Burkina Faso

open access: yesBulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2021
Vegetable cowpea is eaten mainly fresh, in the form of young, immature pods, tender and sweet like the common bean. However, like cowpea with seeds, vegetable cowpea experience yield losses due to the cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV).

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Synchronization of Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus Replication in Cowpea Leaves

open access: yesIntervirology, 1976
A technique that 'systemically inoculates' cowpea leaves with cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is described. The upper leaves of cowpea plants are maintained at 10 degrees and allowed to become infected with inoculum from lower leaves maintained at 32 degrees; when the whole plant is shifted to 25 degrees, synchronous virus replication starts in ...
