Identification of QTLs for Domestication-Related Traits in Zombi Pea [Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich], a Lost Crop of Africa [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Zombi pea [Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich] is a legume crop found in Africa. Wild zombi pea is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, whereas domesticated zombi pea is rarely cultivated.

Influence of plant spacing and deblossoming on agromorphological and physiological traits of zombi pea [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Zombi pea is an underexploited legume vegetable with edible tubers and pods and a climate resilient crop. It carries genes that make it resilient to biotic and abiotic stressors, and have high protein content.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Waterlogging-Sensitive and Tolerant Zombi Pea (Vigna vexillata) Reveals Energy Conservation and Root Plasticity Controlling Waterlogging Tolerance [PDF]

Plants, 2019
Vigna vexillata (zombi pea) is an underutilized legume crop considered to be a potential gene source in breeding for abiotic stress tolerance. This study focuses on the molecular characterization of mechanisms controlling waterlogging tolerance using two

Identification of Genetic Variation Associated With Heat Tolerance in Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.). [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Heat tolerance is an important trait in cowpea, a crop that is the primary protein source for a large portion of the human population in sub‐Saharan Africa. Cultivated, landrace, semi‐wild, and wild cowpea grow across the region in diverse climatic conditions.

Still on the same page: A gender comparison of the top 100 picture books from the UK and China published 2011–2020

Children &Society, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract As a primary source for the early ages, picture books guide preschool children's gender perception through stories and illustrations. However, previous studies have criticised an overall gender inequality in children's picture books. Compared to the increasing attention on gender diversity in the UK picture book industry, there has been little

Identification and resistant characterization of legume sources against Meloidogyne incognita

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.) are becoming a serious problem in legume production. This study identified Vigna genotypes exhibiting resistance to M. incognita (RKN) and characterized the modes of the resistance to M. incognita.
