Abstract: | An electrophoretic comparison of variation at 37 presumptive isozyme gene loci was performed for 55 wildVigna unguiculata accessions. The analysis included seven subspecies, covering the whole range of variation available in wildVigna unguiculata. The results of the isoenzymatic study broadly confirmed the previous infraspecific classification inferred from morphological data. Although the southern taxa (e.g., subsp.tenuis, subsp.stenophylla) are as yet too poorly sampled to discuss in depth, wildVigna unguiculata can be divided into one mainly autogamous annual group (including subsp.pubescens and var.spontanea) and several widely divergent perennial subspecies. |
