Photoperiod regulation of development and growth in bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea)

Rates of Progress towards Flowering and Podding in Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea) as a Function of Temperature and Photoperiod

“…comm. ; results were later published in Linnemann, Westphal and Wessel (1995)]. A photoperiod of 10 h d − " was expected to be below the critical photoperiod of ' Tiga Nicuru ' in the temperature range of the experiment, and a photoperiod of 16 h d − " above the ceiling photoperiod.…”

“…In the short-day species bambara groundnut, not only the onset of flowering, but also the onset of pod growth (' podding ') is affected by photoperiod (Harris and AzamAli, 1993 ;Linnemann, 1993 ;Linnemann, Westphal and Wessel, 1995). Photoperiod usually has a stronger effect on the onset of podding than on the onset of flowering.…”

“…Moreover, a highly controlled environment is needed for such phenotyping in most ecologies (especially in the tropical regions where natural day length variation is limited). However, studies focusing on photothermal response mechanisms in Bambara groundnut have been reported (Linnemann 1991;Linnemann et al 1995;Brink 1997Brink , 1999Brink et al 2000;Jørgensen et al 2009;Kendabie et al 2014). The opportunity to use molecular markers linked to QTLs associated with photo-thermal response could be useful in future germplasm characterization.…”

Genotype × Environment Interaction for Pod Yield in Groundnut

“…Understanding the cause of GxE interaction is important to help in selecting varieties with the best adaptation and that can give stable yields. Linnemann et al, (1995) stated that it is important to understand crop development in relation to biophysical conditions and changes in season when selecting well-adapted genotypes and correct planting date.…”
