Genetics of seed flavonoid content and antioxidant activity in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.)

Genetics of seed flavonoid content and antioxidant activity in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.)

Information about the type of gene action governing the inheritance of cowpea seed flavonoid content and antioxidant activity is prerequisite for starting an effective breeding program for developing improved varieties. For this purpose, half-diallel crosses among seven diverse parents were made. Th...
