“…32/22 °C) there was no significant increase in biomass accumulation under 16 h, compared to 8 h daylength. This was, to an extent, in agreement with the previous findings from Herath and Ormrod (1979). However, at a constant 13 h photoperiod, a higher temperature regime of 30/25 °C led to higher dry mass accumulation and leaf area than under 25/20 °C, without significant differences between these two regimes with regard to plant height or number of leaves (Schiavinato and Válio 1996a).…”

“…There were, however, significant growth variations in response to different conditions. Herath and Ormrod (1979), working with a range of PNG and Sri Lankan accessions showed differences in leaf area, stomatal density, and total chlorophyll content among cultivars, and in response to temperature and daylength. The PNG accessions showed higher stomatal density than Sri Lankan accessions, while both groups showed higher values at a 25/20 °C temperature regime than at 30/25 °C.…”

“…In winged bean, good vegetative growth of established seedlings requires warm, well-lit, humid conditions. Several studies have shown that a day temperature of around 27 °C and a night temperature above 20 °C is optimal (Wong and Schwabe 1979;Herath and Ormrod 1979;Anonymous 1980Anonymous , 1981Wong 1983;Schiavinato and Válio 1996a). Reduced plant survival rate and plant height was observed under high temperature of 36/31 °C as compared to 27/22 °C, from the accessions collected from upland and lowland winged beans accessions.…”

Main Conclusion Winged bean is popularly known as "One Species Supermarket" for its nutrient-dense green pods, immature seeds, tubers, leaves, and mature seeds. This underutilised crop has potential beneficial traits related to its biological nitrogen-fixation to support low-input farming. Drawing from past knowledge, and based on current technologies, we propose a roadmap for research and development of winged bean for sustainable food systems. Reliance on a handful of "major" crops has led to decreased diversity in crop species, agricultural systems and human diets. To reverse this trend, we need to encourage the greater use of minor, "orphan", underutilised species. These could contribute to an increase in crop diversity within agricultural systems, to improve human diets, and to support more sustainable and resilient food production systems. Among these underutilised species, winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) has long been proposed as a crop for expanded use particularly in the humid tropics. It is an herbaceous perennial legume of equatorial environments and has been identified as a rich source of protein, with most parts of the plant being edible when appropriately prepared. However, to date, limited progress in structured improvement programmes has restricted the expansion of winged bean beyond its traditional confines. In this paper, we discuss the reasons for this and recommend approaches for better use of its genetic resources and related Psophocarpus species in developing improved varieties. We review studies on the growth, phenology, nodulation and nitrogen-fixation activity, breeding programmes, and molecular analyses. We then discuss prospects for the crop based on the greater understanding that these studies have provided and considering modern plant-breeding technologies and approaches. We propose a more targeted and structured research approach to fulfil the potential of winged bean to contribute to food security.

“…Higher DL constituted higher total plant-DM than shorter DL because of a bigger daily assimilation. Experiments of various authors with soja (EATON 1931), winged bean (HERATH and ORMROD 1979) and peanut (WYNNE et al 1973) found similar results. The CON of both species showed at 101 DAE (Exp.…”

The valuation of the influence of different day length (DL) on plant and especially nodule development of fababeans {Vicia faba L.) and grasspeas [Latbyrus sativits L.) was the aim of these experiments. For that, experiments in growth chambers (Exp. 1) with DL of 10, 13, 16 and 19 hours and an experiment in vegetation boxes {Exp. 2) with DL of 7, 10, 13 hours and natural DL as control (GON) were conducted. The development of plants was studied by 6 and 7 harvests (HA) respectively beginning at 27 and 31 days after emergence (DAE) respectively, as well as consecutive determinations of leaf area, dry matter (DM) of the different plant organs and nodule number.Total-and pod-DM of both species increased with higher DL (19 h, GON). Nodule-DM was positive influenced by longer assimilation duration and bigger leaf areas of the higher DL treatments. With onset of pod ripening, which occurred early under higher DL, lower nodule-DM was determined due to the beginning of nodule senescence. Under 19 h DL the fababeans established highest nodule-DM, t,100 mg/plant, whereas the grasspea 410 mg only. Nodules under shorter DL (7 h, 10 h) showed less intensive red tissue and less nodules > 6 mm diameter. The grasspea established more bigger nodules than the fababeans. Tocal nodule number was not unequivocal affected by DL, however, it increased with the course of vegetation. Senescence of nodules was most evident at time of highest growth rates of tbe pod-DM.
