Inheritance of Stem Fasciation and Its Effect on Some Agronomic Traits of Cowpea

2013-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is a major source of dietary protein for many people in the tropics. It is affected by pests and diseases throughout its life cycle and during storage, with yield losses up to 100% in Africa. Stem fasciation in this study was genetic in origin and had an important influence on agronomic traits. A fasciated stem mutant was crossed to three normal stem lines. Six generations comp...
