Crossing potential in the production of persistent green seeds in cowpea using gt and gc genes.
Eight cowpea genotypes (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) combined in two sets of crosses were studied to evaluate parent's potential and effects of genes for green testa (gt) and green cotyledon (gc) on days to first flowering (NDF), one hundred seed.weight (SW) and dry seed yield per plant (SYP). Moreover, this study contributed to the identification of the best combinations of parents to form a population with wide genetic base for selecting tines having seeds with green color that persist to dryness...
