“…The different results likely stem from different crosses being used in these two studies. Similar to the findings of the more recent study [105], four QTLs concentrated in two regions were shown to regulate pod fiber layer thickness, which control pod shattering in cowpea by two genes [49,104]. Pod dehiscence in cowpea may be regulated by a different set of genes.…”

“…Genetic analysis of pod shattering has been carried out in various legumes including soybean [48,[93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101], common bean [13,44], pea [18,50,102], cowpea [49,[103][104][105][106], lentil [16,46,107], narrow-leaf lupin [47,108], azuki bean [45,109], and common vetch [43,110]. In most of the legumes that have been studied so far, pod shattering is found to be a dominant trait controlled by one or two genes or QTLs (Table 1).…”

In wild habitats, fruit dehiscence is a critical strategy for seed dispersal; however, in cultivated crops it is one of the major sources of yield loss. Therefore, indehiscence of fruits, pods, etc., was likely to be one of the first traits strongly selected in crop domestication. Even with the historical selection against dehiscence in early domesticates, it is a trait still targeted in many breeding programs, particularly in minor or underutilized crops. Here, we review of this trait in pulse (grain legume) crops, which are of growing importance as a source of protein in human and livestock diets, and which have received less attention iii) the molecular pathways underlying this important trait, iv) an overview of the extent of crop losses due to shattering, and the effects of environmental factors on shattering, and, v) efforts to reduce shattering in crops. While our focus is mainly pulse crops, we also included comparisons to crucifers and cereals because there is extensive research on shattering in these taxa.

“…It is cultivated around the world primarily for seed, but also as a vegetable (for leafy greens, green pods, fresh shelled green peas, and shelled dried peas), as cover crop and for fodder [4]. In most African countries, cowpea is either grown alone or intercropped with various cereal crops, such as leafy vegetables, maize, millet, sorghum, beans, pigeon peas, bananas and others [5,6].…”

To assess the integrated effect of planting pattern and low dose herbicide mixtures on weeds and growth, yield attributes and yields of cowpea, and to determine the economic feasibility of different weed management practices in cowpea, a field experiment was conducted at Sirinka Agricultural Research Center experimental sites at Jari and Sirinka in Northern Ethiopia during the 2014 main cropping season. There were 16 treatments comprising the combinations of two planting patterns (60 cm × 10 cm, 45 cm × 15 cm) and eight weed management practices (s-metolachlor 2.0 kg ha -1 , s-metolachlor at 1.0 kg ha -1 +hand weeding and hoeing 35 weeks after crop emergence (WAE), pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha -1 +hand weeding and hoeing 5 WAE, s-metolachlor at 1.0 kg ha -1 +pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha -1 , s-metolachlor at 1.0 kg ha -1 +pendimethalin at 0.75 kg ha -1 , s-metolachlor at 0.75 kg ha -1 +pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha -1 , hand weeding and hoeing 3 WAE and weedy check. The treatments were laid out in factorial combination in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The highest number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, and hundred seed weight were obtained from the combination of s-metolachlor at 1.0 kg ha -1 +hand weeding 5 WAE along with 60 cm × 10 cm at Sirinka. Higher (3092 kg ha -1 ) grain yield was recorded at Sirinka than at Jari (2714 kg ha -1 ). The highest (53460 ETB ha -1 ) gross benefit was obtained from s-metolachlor at 1.0 kg ha -1 +hand weeding and hoeing 5 WAE, followed by pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha -1 +hand weeding and hoeing 5 WAE (46737 ETB ha -1 ). Therefore, managing the weeds with the application of 1.0 kg ha -1 of s-metolachlor+hand weeding and hoeing 5 WAE along with 60 cm × 10 cm proved to be the most feasible practice. Alternate herbicides for the control of X. strumarium infested fields in the study area needs to be explored.
