Molecular Markers for Genetic Diversity Studies in African Leafy Vegetables [PDF]
African leafy vegetables are becoming important crops in tackling nutrition and food security in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, since they provide important micronutrients and vitamins, and help resource-poor farm families bridge lean periods of food ...

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.

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

Abstract Brazil can expand cultivated areas without deforestation by restoring degraded pastures and optimizing grain production through off‐season crops. This study evaluated eight off‐season treatments, including fallow, monocrops, and intercropping combinations, and their effects on maize (Zea mays L.) intercropped with guinea grass (Megathyrsus ...

Allozyme diversity of cultivated cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.
A survey of allozyme variation in cultivar-groups of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] was undertaken by examining 21 enzyme systems encoded by 36 loci in 271 accessions representing the five cultivar-groups. Very low levels of variation were found within accessions, which is typical of self-pollinating species.

Even though histamine plays an important role in human health, it has been associated with food intoxication and intolerance episodes. The most relevant, current state of knowledge regarding histamine's biochemical and health aspects is provided. Histamine levels are provided for 17 food groups, including 335 food types and 11,437 samples, allowing ...

Investigating the effects of low input drying procedures on maize (Zea mays L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) and bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) seed quality in Benin [PDF]
Four drying regimes (sun, shade, silica gel and conventional drying room) were compared using seeds of Zea mays L. (cv. DMR-ESR-W), Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (cv. NI 86-650-3) and Vigna subterranea (L.) Verde. {local white variety).

Our metagenomic study revealed the impact of sorghum cultivated in soils previously grown with cowpea, soybean, and maize on rhizosphere microbiome and soil nitrogen cycling. ABSTRACT Legumes form mutualistic interactions with specific soil microbiomes that fix atmospheric nitrogen and improve soil fertility.
