Cowpea is an important warm-season grain legume. Cowpea has
received relatively little attention from a research standpoint.
Apart from improvement of specific traits, breaking the yield
plateau is the major task. Towards this direction, pooling of yield
contributing alleles has reached already saturation and hence
requires alternative approach. Recently, it has been realized that
morpho-physiological approach as an alternative to address such
tasks. The present book highlights the importance of physiological
traits such as photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance,
transpiration rate and chlorophyll content in determining the yield
indirectly by manipulated sink and source relationship and further,
the scope of introgressive hybridization in development of new
plant type through transgressive segregants. And also gives
highlights regarding breeding approach by selection of parents,
generation of transgressive segregants based on heterosis of the
population and the selection parameters. This information is of
great useful to the researchers and breeders who are willing to
work on genetic improvement of crop species through conventional
breeding approach.
