• Morphological and molecular diversity within Algerian cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) landraces (2010, background): “The Saharian forms have been introduced from North-East Africa, that could be a possible centre of domestication of cultivated forms of V. unguiculata (Echikh 2000; Pasquet 2000).”
• Genetic diversity in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] as revealed by RAPD markers (2004, methodology): “…cv.-gr. Biflora from north-eastern Africa and isozymes (Pasquet 2000). other cv.-gr. Biflora accessions (Table 1), while iso- More interestingly, like isozyme data, evolved zymes showed North-East Africa to be much more cultivar-groups (Melanophthalmus, Unguiculata, and diverse (Pasquet 2000).”
• Assessment of the genetic diversity in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) germplasm from Ghana using simple sequence repeat markers (2010, background): “This is not surprising since it is well documented that cowpeas in general have a narrow genetic base due to the fact that a single domestication event is involved in the origin of this crop (Doebley, 1989; Pasquet, 2000; Coulibaly et al., 2002; Ba et al., 2004).”
• Genetic diversity of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] in four West African and USA breeding programs as determined by AFLP analysis (2007, background): “…that exists in cultivated cowpea germplasm, limited genetic diversity in cowpea breeding programs is of special concern because cowpea appears to have lower inherent genetic diversity than other cultivated crops as a result of a hypothesized single domestication event (Pasquet 1999, 2000).”
