The narrow base of genetic diversity characteristic of cowpea can be attributed to it being
self-pollinating, evolving from narrow wild germplasm and exhibiting very limited gene flow …

Agricultural weeds descended from domesticated ancestors, directly from crops
(endoferality) and/or from crop–wild hybridization (exoferality), may have evolutionary …

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is one of the important climate-resilient legume crops
for food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. Ethiopia is believed to harbor high …

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important legume crop with diverse uses. The species is
presently a minor crop, and evaluation of its genetic diversity has been very limited. In this …

Impact of pollination on the agri-food sector is of paramount importance. Pollinators
