Genetic control of earliness in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp). [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 Global climate change is expected to further intensify the already harsh conditions in the dry savannah ecological zones of sub-Saharan Africa, posing serious threats to food and income security of millions of smallholder farmers. Breeding cowpea for improved earliness could help minimize this risk, by ensuring that the crops complete their lifecycle ...
