A perforated ovule culture system improves nutrient accessibility and accelerates embryo rescue in cowpea

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Cowpea ( <italic>Vigna unguiculata</italic> (L.) Walp., 2 <italic>n</italic>  = 2 <italic>x</italic>  = 22) is a major staple crop whose improvement is constrained by insect pests and diseases. Although wild relatives harbour valuable resistance genes, interspecific hybridization is limited by post-zygotic barriers that cause embryo abortion. Here, we developed and optimized an...
