Construction of a SSR-based genetic map and identification of QTL for domestication traits using recombinant inbred lines from a cross between wild and cultivated cowpea (V. unguiculata (L.) Walp.)

Muluvi, Geoffrey M.; Mebeaselassie, Andargie; Pasquet, Remy S.; Gowda, Bhavani S.; Timko, Michael P. (Springer Netherlands, 2011)

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a grain legume commonly grown and consumed in many parts of the tropics and subtropics. A genetic linkage map was constructed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and a ...
Cowpea (VignaUnguiculata) Fast Establishment Enhances its Potential for Food Security and Short-Term Rotations in Semi-Arid Areas in a Changing Climate

Kimiti, Jacinta M. (2019)

Cowpea (Vignaunguiculata L. Walp.) is a drought resistant, multipurpose legume commonly used for food, fodder and soil fertility improvement. Cowpea and commonly cultivated multipurpose shrubs (Calliandracalothyrsus and ...
Cowpea growth and nitrogen fixation responses to nutrient management in a contrasting semi-arid environment

Kimiti, Jacinta M.; Odee, David W. (2013-05)

We investigated the response of cowpea (Vigina unguiculata (L.) Walp) to integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) on nodule formation, growth and nitrogen fixation in two field sites with contrasting rainfall amounts ...
Farm yard manure reduces the virulence of Alectra vogelii (Benth) on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

Nguluu, Simon N.; Karanja, J.; Gatheru, M. (Academic Journals, 2012-02)

The average productivity of cowpea in arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya is low due to a complex of biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the major biotic factors is the parasitic weed Alectra vogelii. Six cowpea varieties ...
Isotopic discrimination associated with symbiotic nitrogen fixation in stylo (Stylosanthes hamata L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.)

Nguluu, Simon N.; Probert, M. E.; McCown, R. L.; Myers, R. J. K.; Waring, S. A. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)

A glasshouse study was carried out to determine the isotopicdiscrimination (B values) and the isotopic fractionation factors (β)associated with symbiotic nitrogen fixation in stylo (Stylosantheshamata L.) and cowpea (Vigna ...
Response of cowpea genotypes to Alectra vogelii parasitism in Kenya

Nguluu, Simon N.; Karanja, J.; Wambua, J.; Gatheru, M. (Academic Journals, 2013-11)

Cowpea is popular in Eastern Kenya where it is attractive to farmers because of its high economic value and the belief that it does not require many external inputs. Farmers are however discouraged to grow the crop in ...
