In 1992, Vaillancourt and Weeden discovered a very important mutation for studying cowpea evolution and domestication. A loss
of a BamHI restriction site in chloroplast DNA characterized all domesticated accessions and a few wild (Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata var. spontanea) accessions. In order to screen a larger number of accessions, primers were designed to check this mutation using PCR RFLP
or direct PCR methods. Using these new primers, 54 domesticated cowpea accessions and 130 accessions from the wild progenitor
were screened. The absence of haplotype 0 was confirmed within domesticated accessions, including primitive landraces from
cultivar-groups Biflora and Textilis, suggesting that this mutation occurred prior to domestication. However, 40 var. spontanea accessions distributed from Senegal to Tanzania and South Africa showed haplotype 1. Whereas this marker could not be used
to identify a precise center of origin, it did highlight the widely distributed cowpea crop-weed complex. Its very high frequency
in West Africa could be interpreted as a result of either genetic swamping of the wild/weedy gene pool by the domesticated
cowpea gene pool or as the result of domestication by ethnic groups focusing primarily on cowpea as fodder. 相似文献

Asparagus bean (V. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis), a specific form of cowpea (V. unguiculata L. Walp.), is cultivated as a vegetable crop throughout eastern and southern Asia for its tender long pods. Little is known about the genetic relationship between asparagus bean and the broader species, particularly the dominant ssp. unguiculata. We report here the development and transferability of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, over 40% of which are EST-derived, from ssp. unguiculata to asparagus bean and the use of a subset of the polymorphic markers to assess the genetic diversity of asparagus bean cultivars from diverse geographic origins across China. A total of 410 EST derived SSR (eSSR) markers and 600 SSR markers derived from cowpea genespace sequences (GSS) were developed, with a cross-subspecies transferability of 100% and 98.5%, respectively. In a recombinant inbred line population of asparagus bean, a 1:1 segregation was observed for most loci. Principal coordinate analysis (PCA) and phylogenetic clustering based on 62 alleles detected by 14 polymorphic SSR markers distinguished ssp. unguiculata and sesquipedialis into separate groups. Improved asparagus bean cultivars in China generally have a narrow genetic basis compared with landraces varieties. This suggests that asparagus bean breeding programs need to consider utilizing landrace germplasm to enhance genetic variability and ensure long-term gains from selection and reduce genetic vulnerability to pathogen/pest epidemics. Because of their transferability across subspecies, the SSR markers described in this study could be effectively employed in cross-subspecies trait introgression breeding from ssp. unguiculata to sesquipedialis. 相似文献

Background and Aims
The genetics of domestication of yardlong bean [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. unguiculata cv.-gr. sesquipedalis] is of particular interest because the genome of this legume has experienced divergent domestication. Initially, cowpea was domesticated from wild cowpea in Africa; in Asia a vegetable form of cowpea, yardlong bean, subsequently evolved from cowpea. Information on the genetics of domestication-related traits would be useful for yardlong bean and cowpea breeding programmes, as well as comparative genome study among members of the genus Vigna. The objectives of this study were to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for domestication-related traits in yardlong bean and compare them with previously reported QTLs in closely related Vigna.Methods
Two linkage maps were developed from BC1F1 and F2 populations from the cross between yardlong bean (V. unguiculata ssp. unguiculata cv.-gr. sesquipedalis) accession JP81610 and wild cowpea (V. unguiculata ssp. unguiculata var. spontanea) accession TVnu457. Using these linkage maps, QTLs for 24 domestication-related traits were analysed and mapped. QTLs were detected for traits related to seed, pod, stem and leaf.Key Results
Most traits were controlled by between one and 11 QTLs. QTLs for domestication-related traits show co-location on several narrow genomic regions on almost all linkage groups (LGs), but especially on LGs 3, 7, 8 and 11. Major QTLs for sizes of seed, pod, stem and leaf were principally located on LG7. Pleiotropy or close linkage of genes for the traits is suggested in these chromosome regions.Conclusions
This is the first report of QTLs for domestication-related traits in yardlong bean. The results provide a foundation for marker-assisted selection of domestication-related QTLs in yardlong bean and enhance understanding of domestication in the genus Vigna. 相似文献4.
The main objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of RAPD, AFLP, and SAMPL marker systems in detecting genetic polymorphism in cowpea landraces (Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata (L.) Walp.) that probably share a similar genetic pool. A second objective was to determine the level of diversity among landraces from a restricted area, to define the most appropriate strategy of on-farm conservation. Each marker system was able to discriminate among the materials analysed, but a clear distinction between all the local varieties was only obtained with AFLP and SAMPL markers. The average diversity index was quite similar for each marker system, but owing to the differences in the effective multiplex ratio values the marker index was higher for the AFLP and SAMPL systems than for the RAPD system. The AFLP and SAMPL techniques appear to be more useful than the RAPD technique in the analysis of limited genetic diversity among the cowpea landraces tested. The significant correlations of SAMPL similarity and cophenetic matrices with those of the other markers, and the lower number of primer combinations required, indicate that this technique is the most valuable. The low genetic similarity detected among landraces suggests that all the cowpea landraces should be maintained on the respective farms from which they came. 相似文献

Inhibitors of the thiol proteinase, papain (EC 3.4.22.2), were shown to be present in 11 species of 10 genera of plants. The inhibitor activity was nondialyzable, and precipitated by ammonium sulfate. Tissue cultures from a number of plant genera consisting of rapidly dividing cells contained latent papain inhibitor that could be activated upon heating. Four isoinhibitors of plant thiol proteinases from seeds of the legume Vigna unguiculata subsp. cyclindrica were purified to apparent homogeneity by acrylamide gel electrophoresis with or without sodium dodecyl sulfate. The inhibitors were present in very small amounts compared to the trypsin inhibitors and the degree of purification of the homogeneous isoinhibitors on the assumption that all were present initially in equal amounts was 15,000- to 60,000-fold. The isoinhibitors did not inhibit pepsin, bromelain, and the serine proteinases, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and subtilisin. They were specific for papain, chymopapain, and ficin but their inhibition of the proteinase, esterase, and amidase activities of the three enzymes differed. 相似文献

A survey of allozyme variation in cultivar-groups of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] was undertaken by examining 21 enzyme systems encoded by 36 loci in 271 accessions representing the five cultivar-groups.
Very low levels of variation were found within accessions, which is typical of self-pollinating species. Little variation
was also found among accessions. Compared with other legume crops, V. unguiculata is depauperate in allozyme variation. We found an average of 1.61 alleles per locus with 42% of the loci polymorphic and
a total heterozygosity of 0.061. Of the variation present, 90% was found within cultivar-groups, while 10% was among cultivar-groups.
Data analyses revealed continuous variation among cultivar-groups and geographic regions with the accessions failing to segregate
into discrete morphophysiological or geographic clusters. However, evolved cultivar-groups (cv.-gr. Melanophthalmus and cv.-gr.
Sesquipedalis) appear to be less diverse than their putative primitive cultivar-group progenitors. Due to the lack of availability
of critical material, no clear center of origin can be established. However, the data presented suggest that Northeast Africa
could be a possible center of domestication.

Histological studies were conducted on cowpea pods fed upon by the coreoid pod-sucking bugs, Anoplocnemis curvipes (Fabricius), Clavigralla tomentosicollis St?l, C. shadabi Dolling, Riptortus dentipes (Fabricius) and Mirperus jaculus (Thunberg). Various degrees of tissue and cellular disruption were apparent, especially in the brachysclereids. They were manifested in terms of plasmolysis, cell enlargement and cell wall disintegration depending on the coreoid species involved. The feeding site and its periphery had all the cells of the brachysclereids plasmolysed, with the parenchyma having broken cell walls in the case of A. curvipes. Riptortus dentipes and M. jaculus showed similar patterns of feeding activity but less extensive levels of damage. The Clavigralla spp., however, caused cell enlargement in the brachysclereids, and broken cell walls in both the brachysclereids and the parenchyma. Damage symptoms were observed in cells far away from the feeding sites of the bugs, suggesting the possibility of sucrase activity which has been reported to cause osmotic pump feeding in the Coreidae. 相似文献

Feeding trials were conducted on three (young, mid-fill and mature) developmental stages of cowpea Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata pods in the screenhouse using fourth instar nymphs and adults of Anoplocnemis curvipes (Fabricius), Riptortus dentipes (Fabricius), Mirperus jaculus (Thunberg), Clavigralla tomentosicollis St?l and C. shadabi Dolling. Anoplocnemis curvipes was observed to be the most damaging coreoid species causing a yield reduction of 26.4-51.7% followed by R. dentipes (24.4-29.4%), M. jaculus (21.9-26.9%), C. tomentosicollis (17.9-22.4%) and C. shadabi (15.9-20.4%). The fourth instar nymphs of each pod-sucking bug species caused a significantly higher cowpea yield reduction than their respective adults. Similarly, infestation on young pods compared to mid-fill and mature stages resulted in significantly higher yield reduction. The results suggest that infestation levels of two fourth instar nymphs of A. curvipes or three fourth instar nymphs of the other four pod-sucking bug species per young pod should be adequate for screening of cowpea varieties for resistance to the coreoid bugs. 相似文献

Summary Protoplasts were isolated from hypocotyl of V. mungo (L.) Hepper or hypocotyl-derived callus of V. sublobata (Phaseolus sublobata Roxb.) and V. unguiculata (L.) Walp (syn. V. sinensis (L.) Saviex Hassk) using an enzyme solution comprising Cellulase 2.5%, Macerozyme, Hemicellulase and Driselase each at a 0.5% level in 0.5 M sorbitol. Isolated protoplasts were cultured in Murashige and Skoog's (1962) basal liquid medium supplemented with BA, NAA, 2,4-D (1 mg/l each) and sucrose (14%). After four weeks, protoplast colonies were transferred to the same medium with a reduced level of sucrose (7%). Colonies proliferated into actively growing calli. Further attempts to regenerate plants from such calli were not successful. However, protoclones of V. unguiculata differentiated roots on auxin/cytokinin supplemented media. Alternative methods for shoot differentiation from protoplastderived cultures were tried by the use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens shooter strains pGV 2215 or pGV 2298 or wild type strain B6S3. 相似文献

A chimeric plant was observed in the F2 generation of a cross between a mutant cultivar, Ife BPC, and a germplasm line, TVu 2, in cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. The chimeric plant had four lateral branches, one of which was intensely variegated, while the others were mostly
green with few white sectors. F3 progeny from the intensely variegated branch of this plant were all variegated, while seed derived from the mostly green
branches produced only green progeny. In subsequent generations, the descendants of the variegated branch bred true for the
variegated trait, while those of the mostly green branches were also true-breeding for green colour. No pure-green or pure-white
shoots were observed in any of the variegated plants examined in this study. Consequently, no pure-green or pure-white seedlings
were produced from seeds harvested from the variegated plants. The results of reciprocal crosses between variegated and normal
green plants indicate that variegation is inherited in a strictly uniparental maternal fashion. This is the first report of
a cytoplasmically inherited mutation affecting foliage colour in cowpea.

Key message
Here we present the development of cowpea lines tolerant to a herbicide from imidazoline class (imazapyr). Plants presented tolerance to fourfold the commercial recommended dose for weed control.Abstract
Cowpea is one of the most important and widely cultivated legumes in many parts of the world. Its cultivation is drastically affected by weeds, causing damages during growth and development of plants, competing for light, nutrients and water. Consequently, weed control is critical, especially using no-tillage farming systems. In tropical regions, no-till farming is much easier with the use of herbicides to control weeds. This study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of obtaining transgenic cowpea plants resistant to imidazolinone, which would facilitate weed control during the summer season. The biolistic process was used to insert a mutated acetohydroxyacid synthase coding gene (Atahas) which confers tolerance to imazapyr. The transgene integration was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. Out of ten lines tested for tolerance to 100 g ha?1 imazapyr, eight presented some tolerance. One line (named 59) revealed high herbicide tolerance and developmental growth comparable to non-transgenic plants. This line was further tested for tolerance to higher herbicide concentrations and presented tolerance to 400 g ha?1 imazapyr (fourfold the commercial recommended dose) with no visible symptoms. Line 59 will be the foundation for generating imidazolinone-tolerant cowpea varieties, which will facilitate cultivation of this crop in large areas. 相似文献14.

Cowpea seed β-vignin, a vicilin-like globulin, proved to exert various health favourable effects, including blood cholesterol reduction in animal models. The need of a simple scalable enrichment procedure for further studies for tailored applications of this seed protein is crucial. A chromatography-independent fractionation method allowing to obtain a protein preparation with a high degree of homogeneity was used. Further purification was pursued to deep the molecular characterisation of β-vignin. The results showed: (i) differing glycosylation patterns of the two constituent polypeptides, in agreement with amino acid sequence features; (ii) the seed accumulation of a gene product never identified before; (iii) metal binding capacity of native protein, a property observed only in few other legume seed vicilins. 相似文献

The cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a morphologically and genetically variable species composed of wild perennial, wild annual, and cultivated
forms that are mainly used for edible seeds and pods. In this study, genetic variation in 199 germplasm accessions of wild
and cultivated cowpea was evaluated using an allozyme analysis. The results from this survey showed that wild cowpea exhibits
genetic variation perfectly fitted with the existing morphological classification. The cowpea gene-pool is characterized by
its unusually large size. It encompasses taxa (ranked as subspecies) that could be considered as different species considering
the high genetic distances observed between accessions belonging to different taxa. These subspecies can be classified into
three groups characterized by their breeding systems: perennial outcrossers, perennial out-inbreds, and inbred annuals. Allozyme
data confirm this grouping. Perennial outcrossers look primitive and are more remote from each other and from perennial out-inbreds.
Within this large gene-pool, mainly made of perennial taxa, cultivated cowpeas (ssp. unguiculata var. unguiculata) form a genetically coherent group and are closely related to annual cowpeas (ssp. unguiculata var. spontanea) which may include the most likely progenitor of cultivated cowpeas.

Root exudate of Vigna unguiculata was extracted from a soil system consisting of charcoal and vermiculite. Germination stimulating activity for Striga gesnerioides was found in extracts of the soil system, and an active compound was isolated. The chemical structure of the active ingredient
was determined to be (+)-4-O-acetylorobanchol, based on analysis of the spectral data of 1-D and 2-D NMR together with nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)
experiments. Application of the active compound to the seeds of S. gesnerioides at a concentration of 0.35 × 10−9 mol/disk led to 69% germination. The germination observed with application of GR-24, a positive control, at 0.57 × 10−10 mol/disk was 80%. 相似文献

Alterations in protein pattern were observed in the callus tissues ofVigna unguiculata (L) Walp. up to tenth passage from its initiation. A gradual increase in quantity of protein was found up to sixth passage
of culture. Decrease in the quantity of protein after eight months of culture might be correlated with the cytodifferentiation
of the tissues. It has been recorded that with the initiation of morphogenesis there is an increase in the number and intensity
of protein bands at the anionic end of the polyacrylamide gel. 相似文献

Two subtilisin inhibitors and two trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitors were purified from seeds of Vigna unguiculata subsp. cylindrica. A third subtilisin inhibitor was partially purified. The subtilisin isoinhibitors were present in very small amounts in the seeds and the degree of purification of the three inhibitors was 20,000- to 48,000-fold. The purified inhibitors were found to be homogeneous on ultracentrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with or without dodecyl sulfate. The subtilisin inhibitors had no action on papain, ficin, chymopapain, bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, or papain and the trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitors were also inactive with other enzymes. 相似文献

Summary Interspecific hybridization between Vigna unguiculata and V. vexillata always failed: no seed was obtained in both crossing directions. Two different barriers to crossability were found: a pre-zygotic barrier and a post-zygotic one. Many abnormalities were observed in pollen-tube development, which reduced the percentage of fertilization to 18–30%. Differences in the percentage of fertilization were detected between the two accessions of V. vexillata involved in the interspecific crosses. The development of the interspecific embryo was analyzed and the embryo and endosperm nuclei always degenerated 5–8 days after pollination. The growth of the embryo stopped at a globular stage, which is too early for excision and in vitro culturing. 相似文献

Vigna unguiculata (L. Walp) or Cowpea pod methanolic extracts phytochemical analysis, total phenolic content (TPC), and secondary metabolite profiling were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. GC/MS analysis revealed twenty compounds in the extract, while LC/MS analysis identified twenty-four compounds. GC/MS chromatogram analysis suggested the presence of opioid α-N-Normethadol a major constituent found in methanolic extract and fatty acid esters carotenoid is found second major constituent. LC/MS chromatogram and the mass spectral analysis demonstrated the presence of flavonoids, carotenoids, and alkaloids as major phytochemicals. We investigated the antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-oxidant activity of pod methanolic extract. The extract was found equally effective against E. coli, S. pyogenes, and P. aeruginosa with MIC 100 μg/mL similar to the standard Ampicillin (MIC 100 μg/mL). C. albicans were found to be most susceptible to Vign unguiculata pods methanolic extract with a MIC of 250 μg/mL. The pod extract showed significant DPPH scavenging activity (IC50=78.38±0.15) which suggests its antioxidant potential. 相似文献
