“…This result is important since high experimental precisions make the selection process of superior individuals reliable. Barroso Neto et al (2017) reported similar values while evaluating 62 cowpea genotypes with a simple inflorescence in the municipality of Marco, in the state of Ceará, Brazil.…”

The objective of this work was to select cowpea lines with compound inflorescences that show a high potential to generate the first commercial cultivar with this characteristic in Brazil. Thirty-seven lines were evaluated in a randomized complete block design, with two replicates, in 2021, in the municipality of Teresina, in the state of Piauí. The following traits were evaluated: number of days to the onset of flowering, plant size, commercial grain quality, number of grains per pod, weight of 100 grains, and grain yield. Deviance analyzes were performed by the restricted maximum likelihood/ best unbiased linear predictor methodology, and the values and genetic parameters necessary to carry out simultaneous selection were estimated based on the rank sum index. A statistical difference was detected between the lines evaluated by the likelihood ratio test (LRT). In general, genetic variance was the largest component of phenotypic variance for the evaluated traits. The ten most promising cowpea lines with compound inflorescences are: MNC15-33E-123, MNC15-33E-178, MNC15-33E-222, MNC15-33E-171, MNC15-33E-232, MNC15-33E-223, MNC15-33E-219, MNC15-33E-183, MNC15-33E-91, and MNC15-33E-165. These lines were selected for the next selection stages and show a high potential to generate the first commercial cowpea cultivar with compound inflorescences in Brazil.

“…Moura et al (2012), also found a negative correlation between cowpea yield and the protein, zinc and iron content. According to Barroso Neto et al (2017), as it is a quantitative characteristic with polygenic inheritance, a great variation in grain yield is expected which is greatly influenced by the environment. This may have contributed to the variation in TPC, as both are correlated.…”

The protein content of the cowpea has proved to be very variable, especially of the green grain. The aim of this study, therefore, was to obtain information on the influence of the environment and genetic variability on the total protein content (TPC) of green cowpea grain, as well as to evaluate the effects of production components on this variable. Sixteen cowpea genotypes were evaluated in two environments (Pentecoste and Acaraú) in the state of Ceará, in a simple factorial scheme (16 x 2) for eight production components and protein content. The grain was collected while still green (after filling was complete -stage R5) and protein quantification was carried out using the Bradford method. Path analysis was performed in order to identify possible relationships between the agronomic variables and the protein content. There was a different response from the genotypes for each environment and in the interaction between genotype and environment. In Pentecoste, the MNC00-303-09E strain was highlighted, with a TPC of 6.602%, while in Acaraú, the Paulistinha cultivar stood out with a TPC content of 15.154%. For the genotypes under evaluation, selection for total protein content should be made in Acaraú via direct selection of the green-pod-grain weight, 100-grain weight and green-pod weight, and in Pentecoste, via indirect selection of the green-pod weight and green-grain yield.
