“…Cowpea is an important food legume and an essential component of cropping systems in the drier regions of the tropics. It is cultivated in Asia and Oceania, the Middle East, southern Europe, Africa, southern USA, and Central and South America (Perrino et al 1992). Other benefits derived from cowpea especially by the rural poor include animal feed, cash and spillover benefits to their farmlands through insitu decay of root residues and ground cover from cowpea's spreading and low growth habit (Quin1997).…”

Hybridization experiments were conducted in the screen house to study the pattern of inheritance of pod and pod tip pigmentation in cowpea. Segregating F2 populations were raised along with F1 and parental lines while F3 progenies were raised later for progeny testing. Chi-square test was used to analyze the result obtained with a view to determining the number of genes controlling the traits. Pod pigmentation is digenic while pigmentation in the pod tip followed two patterns of inheritance (monogenicity and digenicity). The investigation revealed that pigmentation is dominant over non-pigmentation

“…The seeds are not eaten, the stem bark is not suitable to be used for fiber (Dalziel 1937). This special mode of use deserves a specific note and is unique within the cultivated species of Vigna (Perrino et al 1992;Hanelt 2001a).…”

Notes on infraspecific nomenclature and classifications of cultivated plants in Compositae, Cruciferae, Cucurbitaceae, Gramineae (with a remark on Triticum dicoccon Schrank) and Leguminosae

In connection with revisions in cultivated plants, nomenclatural notes are published for selected Compositae (Cichorium, Cynara, Lactuca, Pterocypsela), Cruciferae (Brassica), Cucurbitaceae (Benincasa, Citrullus, Cucumis, Cucurbita), and Leguminosae (Vigna). The case of Triticum dicoccon Schrank (1789) is discussed after newly published arguments questioning the validity of the publication of this species by Schrank.

“…Cowpea is an important food legume, which is cultivated between 35 o N and 30 o S of the equator, covering Asia and Oceania, the Middle East, southern Europe, Africa, southern USA, and Central and South America (Perinno et al, 1992). It is a drought-tolerant crop with better growth in warm climates.…”

Thirty-two cowpea accessions were studied for variation in contents of protein and mineral nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium). Cowpea flour from 40 wholesome dried seeds of each accession was used for the analysis. The wet oxidation method was used to determine the content of mineral nutrients. Nitrogen content was determined by the Kjeldahl procedure. Protein content ranged from 16.35 to 27.27 per cent. Sodium content ranged from 90.53 to 91.30 ppm, and potassium content from 30.33 to 71.30 ppm. Similarly, values for magnesium and calcium ranged from 146.73 to 968.20 ppm and from 43.33 to 171.20 ppm, respectively. Percent crude protein correlated significantly positively with sodium and negatively with calcium. Magnesium was correlated significantly with potassium. Black seeds generally recorded the highest percent crude protein on the average, while cream seeds had the highest magnesium and calcium contents, respectively.Original scientific paper.
