Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a crucial food and fodder crop in regions characterised by high temperatures. However, its reproductive stages are particularly sensitive to heat stress, leading to reduced pollen viability, pod set, and yield. Therefore, developing and deploying high-temperature-tolerant cultivars is crucial for maintaining productivity under changing climatic conditions....
