Abstract Cowpea is one of the most important legume grains in the sub-Saharan region of Africa used for human
consumption and animal feed, but its production is hampered by biotic and abiotic constraints raising the need to
broaden its genetic basis. For this purpose, seeds of two cowpea varieties Melakh and Yacine were irradiated with 300
and 340 Gy of gamma-ray, respectively. The developed mutant populations were agromorphologically characterized
from M5 to M7, while the genetic diversity of the latter was evaluated using 13 ISSR markers. Based on the
agromorphological characterization, variation of flower color, pod length, seed coat color, and… More >
