Root and Leaf Traits for Dehydration Avoidance and Enhanced Grain Yield in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L., Fabaceae) Under Drought

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Drought stress, which is exacerbated by climate change, is a major contributor to crop production losses in rainfed agriculture. Two genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata, (L.) Walp.) with determinate (IT‐16) and indeterminate (IT‐96D‐610) growth patterns were grown either well‐watered or subjected to drought stress at vegetative and ...

Blue light‐induced stomatal opening is associated with species‐specific changes in primary metabolism but not with starch breakdown in guard cells

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 2347-2360, December 2025.
Summary Blue light (BL)‐induced stomatal opening has been associated with starch breakdown within Arabidopsis guard cells (GCs). However, whether this mechanism is conserved in angiosperms and which metabolic pathways are activated downstream of BL perception and/or starch degradation, remains unknown.

Agronomic evaluation of cowpea as a function of weed control with herbicides and different combinations

Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2016
Cultivation of the cowpea is important in various regions of Brazil, but competition from weeds is one of the factors which limit productivity. The aim of this study therefore was to evaluate the pre-plant selectivity and efficiency of different ...

Evaluation of Protein and Micronutrient Levels in Edible Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L. Walp.) Leaves and Seeds

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
Cowpea is the most important seed legume in Africa. Its leaves and seed are consumed to meet the dietary requirements of protein and micronutrient in rural African communities. In this study, leaf protein of 32 cowpea genotypes was 23-40% at Taung (South

Discriminate function analysis in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2021
The discriminant function technique was used to construct selection indices in forty two genotypes of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.). Sixty three selection indices involving seed yield per plant and its five components were constructed using the discriminant function technique.
