Abstract:The study seeks to evaluate the level of genetic diversity among selected cowpea varieties using both phenotypic traits and seed storage proteins. Twenty cowpea varieties were used in the study. They were planted and phenotypically characterized. Seed proteins were evaluated at maturity. There was a high phenotypic variation observed among the selected cowpea with the evaluated phenotypic traits while a low level of variation was observed with protein evaluation. The variation captured by the phenotype (>90… Show more
