“…The plant has bunched leaves arising from branched stems that form a crown on the soil surface. Its podding habit is similar to that of A. hypogaea in that the pale yellow flower stalk bends downwards after fertilization, pushing the young pod into the soil, where it develops and matures (Uguru and Ezeh 1997). The Bambara groundnut will often yield well in environments that may be too hostile for more favoured legumes (Collinson et al 1996).…”

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess genetic diversity in Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.) germplasm using 25 African accessions from the collection in the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria. Fifty random decamer primers were screened to assess their ability to detect polymorphism in bambara; 17 of them were selected for this study. Considerable genetic diversity was found among the V. subterranea accessions studied. The relationships among the 25 accessions were studied by cluster analysis. The dendrograms showed two main groups of accessions mainly along the lines of their geographic origin. It is concluded that RAPD can be used for germplasm classification in bambara groundnut and hence for improving this crop.

Extensive laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the nutritive characteristics and fracture resistance to compressive loading of some bambara groundnut lines. Data obtained showed percentage carbohydrate, protein and oil contents of 52.60, 17.52 and 6.66 respectively for dehulled bambara groundnut seeds as against lower percentage values of 48.60, 16.99 and 6.20 obtained from the analysis of whole seeds of BgB‐Br. Investigations on the mechanical properties revealed that the force needed to rupture the seeds was influenced by moisture content and loading position of the seeds. The force was found to decrease from 262 to 100 N with increase in moisture content, while the deformation increased from 1.9 to 4.5 mm with increase in moisture content. Maximum toughness occurred at different moistures which represent the moisture levels for absorbing compressive energy which are important for resisting mechanical damage during handling of the bambara groundnut lines. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
