“…Cowpea is also traditionally cultivated in some Mediterranean countries, although it is not widespread in Europe . However, the origin of cowpea is considered to be Africa . Cowpea provides food for millions of people, mainly in developing countries, with an annual worldwide production of about 4.5 million metric tons .…”

Cowpea: an overview on its nutritional facts and health benefits

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a legume consumed as a high-quality plant protein source in many parts of the world. High protein and carbohydrate contents with a relatively low fat content and a complementary amino acid pattern to that of cereal grains make cowpea an important nutritional food in the human diet. Cowpea has gained more attention recently from consumers and researchers worldwide as a result of its exerted health beneficial properties, including anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive properties. Among the mechanisms that have been proposed in the prevention of chronic diseases, the most proven are attributed to the presence of compounds such as soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, phytochemicals, and proteins and peptides in cowpea. However, studies on the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties of cowpea have produced conflicting results. Some studies support a protective effect of cowpea on the progression of cancer and inflammation, whereas others did not reveal any. Because there are only a few studies addressing health-related effects of cowpea consumption, further studies in this area are suggested. In addition, despite the reported favorable effects of cowpea on diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension, a long-term epidemiological study investigating the association between cowpea consumption and diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer is also recommended. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Cowpea cultivation in southern Europe depends to an extent on a remarkable number of cowpea landraces that constitute a valuable genetic material for breeding programs . They possess significant phenotypic variability and some have developed the capacity to tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses, and thus are used in agricultural systems with low inputs and high yield stability .…”

“…Bu alttürler arasında Afrika, Asya ve Latin Amerika'da en fazla yetiştirilen kültür grubu ise unguiculata'dır (Ogunkanmi, 2006). Günümüzde börülce yetiştiriciliği genel olarak Orta, Batı ve Güney Afrika ve Akdeniz ülkeleri, Ortadoğu'nun bazı bölgeleri, Hindistan, Kuzey Amerika'nın Güney Doğu ve Güney Batısında ve Brezilya'nın kuzey doğusunda yapılmaktadır (Ehlers and Hall, 1997;Langyintuo et al, 2003;Pasquet, 2001;Fang et al, 2007;Timko et al, 2007;Lazaridi et al, 2017). Ayrıca Akdeniz havzasında yer alan ülkelerde, özellikle Afrika kıtasında geniş alanlarda tarımı yapılan börülcenin olgun tohumları, sahip olduğu yüksek protein (%20-25) içeriği ile bu bölgelerde yaşayan insanların esas protein kaynağını oluşturmaktadır (Singh et al, 1997;Idahosa et al, 2010).…”

Bu makale ikinci yazarın yüksek lisans tez çalışmasının sonuçlarından düzenlenmiştir. ÖZAmaç: Çiftçiler tarafından, tüketici tercihleri göz önünde bulundurularak yapılan seleksiyonlar börülce populasyonları arasında morfolojik yönden varyabilitenin oluşmasını sağlamıştır. Börülce genotiplerinin genetik çeşitliliğinin belirlenmesi ve genotipler arasındaki ilişkilerin ortaya konması gen havuzunun agromorfolojik karakterlerinin tespiti bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin farklı lokasyonlarından toplanmış börülce populasyonlarından teksel seleksiyon ile elde edilen börülce genotiplerinin agronomik özelliklerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot:Seleksiyon yoluyla elde edilen toplam 15 börülce genotipi çiçeklenme özellikleri, bakla özellikleri, verim ve verim komponentleri yönünden değerlendirilmiş, mevcut gen havuzunda yer alan genotipler ile yetiştiriciliği devam eden çeşitler karşılaştırılmıştır.Bulgular: Börülcenin bakla özellikleri üretici ve tüketiciler açısından en önemli kalite parametresi iken incelenen genotiplerin bakla uzunluğu 12.9-16.6 cm, bakla genişliği 5.1-6.2 mm, bakla çapı 6-7 mm, bakla ağırlığı 2.9-3.9 g, 1000 tohum ağırlığı 120-250.3 g, bakla kuru madde miktarı %12.3-15.3 olarak belirlenmiştir. Verim değerleri 235.5-832.4 kg/da arasında yer alırken en yüksek verim BC 31 genotipinden elde edilmiştir.Sonuç: Elde edilen sonuçlar agronomik özellikler arasında yüksek varyabilite olduğunu gösterirken, istenen tüketim kalitesine sahip ve üstün verimli genotiplerin yerel börülce genotipleri arasındaki genotipik farklıklar kullanılarak elde edilebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. ABSTRACTObjective: Cultivated landraces are genetically diverse and well adapted to agroclimatic conditions, and farmers' selection is based on consumer demand, which reflects the morphological distance among cowpea populations. The assessment of genetic diversity and relationships among cowpea genotypes is of great importance for the determination of agromorphological properties of gene pool. The objective of the present study was to determine agronomic properties of the cowpea genotypes obtained from the single plant selection collected from several province of the Turkey. Material and Methods:A total 15 cowpea genotypes obtained from selaction from local cowpea population were evaluated for flowering period, pod properties, yield and yield components and compared with the widely cultivated cowpea cultivars.Results: Cowpea pod properties are prime importance for farmers and consumers and results revealed that cowpea pod length 12.9-16.6 cm, pod width 5.1-6.2 mm, pod diameter 6-7 mm, pod weight 2.9-3.9 g, 1000 seed weight 120-250.3 g, pod dry matter 12.3-15.3%. The yield ranged between 235.5-832.4 kg/da, and the BC 31 showed the highest yield among examined genotypes. Conclusion:The results of agronomic properties showed that considerable variation among the cowpea genotypes. Furthermore, it would be possible to select higher market quality and yielding genotypes using with varietal differences among lo...
