Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) suffers from a narrow genetic base that limits breeding progress under climate and environmental stress. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of gamma irradiation and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the agronomic traits and genetic diversity of cowpea to identify potential mutant lines with superior performance and variability for breeding purposes. Gamma...
