The use of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) in improving a popular Nigerian weaning food.
A weaning food commonly used in Nigeria was simulated by mixing processed sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) with skim-milk powder (830: 170, w/w). Replacing 310 g/kg sorghum with processed cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) resulted in an increase in protein content from 96 to 113 g/kg and an increase in biological value of the protein from 0.74 to 0.87. The two mixtures were compared with an established comm...
متن کاملEffects of Ni Deficiency on Some Nitrogen Metabolites in Cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp).
Cowpeas grown in nutrient solutions, from which Ni had been removed by a ligand exchange technique, accumulated urea in most tissues. Urea levels were highest (up to 3.1 percent dry weight) in necrotic leaf tips. Urea accumulation in Ni-deficient cowpea tissues amounted to about 1 percent of the total N. The accumulation of urea was presumably associated with the catabolism of N compounds in ol...
متن کاملRecent advances in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L
After decades of research on cowpea, significant amount of omics datasets are available and useful in understanding the genetic relationship between Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata and other species belonging to the same genus as well as its genetic variation. Besides, the development of genetic map allowed the chromosome localization of molecular markers associated with disease resistance, ...
متن کاملLand race as a source for improving photosynthetic rate and productivity in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata W.)
Cowpea is an important grain legume of arid and semiarid regions of Asia and Africa. Productivity of cowpea is low and stagnant. Conventional breeding approaches aimed at improvement of yield per se have not been successful so far in breaking the yield barrier. Manipulation of physiological processes such as photosynthesis is expected to yield positive results. A land race ‘Goa local’ with a ve...
متن کاملAnalysis of Genetic Linkage in the Cowpea Vigna unguiculata
Genetic analysis of 12 lod conditioning morphological characteristics indicated several linkages in cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp). Using both backcross and F2 joint segregation data, these 12 lod were assigned to five linkage groups. The lod Pgfor nodal pigmentation, Pf for purple flower, Pc for smooth seed coat, Na for narrow eye, and Br for brown seed coat make up linkage group 1 with t...
