Genetic diversity of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] in four West African and USA breeding programs as determined by AFLP analysis (2007, background): “1994), random amplified polymophic DNA (RAPD) markers (Ba et al. 2004), and AFLP markers (Coulibaly et al.”
Morphological and molecular diversity within Algerian cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) landraces (2010, methodology): “Remarkably, two cowpea studies with RAPD markers also revealed relatively high levels of diversity, one in diverse domesticated and wild cowpea accessions from Africa and South East Asia (Ba et al. 2004), and the other in Malawian cowpea landraces (Nkongolo 2003).”
Cowpea, a multifunctional legume. (2008, background): “seeds and better growth habits from natural variants in wild cowpeas likely led to diverse cultigroups and their domestication in Asia and in Africa (Steele 1976; Ng and Padulosi 1988; Ba et al. 2004; Ng 1995).”
