Prospection of cowpea genotypes for green-grain production

Abstract: Cowpea is a nutritious species cultivated worldwide whose high genetic variability can be exploited in breeding programs. The present study aimed to identify phenotypically divergent genotypes of Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., from this perspective concerning agronomic and physiological variables aiming at green grain production. An experiment was conducted in Fortaleza -CE, to analyse 13 variables in 44 genotypes from the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal University of Ceará. The experiment was set up in an… Show more

“…The genetic variability in cowpea accessions reported by Pessoa et al (2022) for the Active Cowpea Germplasm Bank (BAG) of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), in northeastern Brazil, has highlighted the potential of these genotypes for green grain production. From this perspective, given the results obtained in previous research and the demand for new green grain cultivars, this study aimed to identify cowpea parents and hybrids with good combining abilities that could assist in identifying promising genotypes to initiate a breeding program aimed at the production of cowpea green grains.…”

“…The plant material was obtained from the Active Cowpea Germplasm Bank at UFC, consisting of four genotypes (UFC-02, UFC-957, UFC-999, and UFC-1002) and one commercial cultivar (BRS Juruá) (Table 1), selected based on their genetic variability for morpho-agronomic traits (Pessoa et al, 2022), in addition to 10 hybrids resulting from crosses between these parents.…”
