Cowpea, a multifunctional legume. (2008, background): “Compared to other legumes, cowpea is known to have good adaptation to high temperatures and resistance to drought stress (Hall et al. 2002; Hall 2004).”

Response of Chickpea Yield to High Temperature Stress during Reproductive Development (2006, background): “High temperature stress results in crop yield losses (Campbell et al., 1992) because of damage to reproductive organs (Paulsen, 1994; Hall, 2004 ), acceleration in the rate of plant development (Savin and Nicolas, 1996; Gan et al., 2004), and shortened period of growth of reproductive organs (Entz ”
Institutional and technological innovation: Understanding agricultural adaptation to climate change in Nepal (2012, background): “For example, to enhance the chances of significant production gain, farmers and their supporting institutions of the African Sahel have developed cropping techniques where both types of cowpea varieties (short and medium maturing) are planted together so that variable climatic input is optimized (Ha”
Cowpea–Soybean Synteny Clarified through an Improved Genetic Map (2011, background): “Cowpea is popular in resource-poor farming because of its consistent production under abiotic stresses (drought, heat, or low soil fertility) and in many regions it is a protein-rich component of an otherwise protein-poor diet (Ehlers and Hall, 1997; Hall, 2004).”
The Effects of Temperature Stress on the Quality and Yield of Soya Bean [(Glycine max L.) Merrill.] (2010, background): “The lost of pollen or stigma viability under high temperatures stress might be the primary reason for the lowered number of seeds produce in the legume (Srinivasan et al., 1998; Davies et al., 1999; Hall, 2004).”
Assessment of the genetic diversity in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) germplasm from Ghana using simple sequence repeat markers (2010, background): “The overall efficiency and effectiveness of cowpea improvement programmes can also be enhanced by knowledge of the genetic diversity available within local and regional germplasm collections (Hall, 2004; Hegde and Mishra, 2009).”
Seedling Stage Drought-Induced Phenotypes and Drought-Responsive Genes in Diverse Cowpea Genotypes (2008, background): “Mid- and late-season drought stress have received considerable attention, given their negative eff ects on yield ( Hall, 2004; Padi, 2004; Dadson et al., 2005).”
Recent advances in cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] “omics” research for genetic improvement (2011, background): “Cowpea is known to have a better tolerance to drought and high temperature compared to other legumes (Hall, 2004).”
