• Genetic diversity of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] in four West African and USA breeding programs as determined by AFLP analysis (2007, background): “1995a, b), Ghana (Padi 2004a), Burkina Faso and Cameroon (Hall et al. 2003) and recently in the US (see Table 1).”
• Recent advances in cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] “omics” research for genetic improvement (2011, background): “The seed protein contents range from 23 to 32% of seed weight rich in lysine and tryptophan, and a substantial amount of mineral and vitamins (folic acid and vitamin B) necessary for preventing birth defect during the pregnancy stage (Nielson et al., 1993; Hall et al., 2003).”
• Die and let live: leaf senescence contributes to plant survival under drought stress. (2004, background): “The study of drought-induced leaf senescence is particularly important, not only to better understand plant development and how plants survive under adverse climatic conditions, but also to improve crop yields, since crops with delayed leaf senescence are used to improve yields in crops growing unde”
• Breeding for adaptation to drought and heat in cowpea (2004, background): “In Senegal, an early erect DLS cultivar began flowering in about 35 days and produced about 2000 kg/ha of grain by 60 days, followed by a second flush of pods with the potential to produce an additional 1000 kg/ha by 100 days from sowing (Hall et al., 2003).”
• Cowpea, a multifunctional legume. (2008, methodology): “The accomplishments of some of these programs have been described recently (Ehlers et al. 2002a; Singh et al. 2002; Hall et al. 2003; Singh 2005; Timko et al. 2007a).”
