Recents developments in cowpea germplasm collection, conservation, evaluation and research at the Genetic Resources Unit
(1990)The history of the Genetic Resources Unit at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) was highlighted. By 1980, the unit engaged in characterization and evaluation of germplasm information. In order to strengthen the units activity and provide a better knowledge of Vigna, the government of Italy funded a project from December 1984 to December 1989. Information on the geographical distribution of Vigna were also given. The unit now maintains 923 accessions of wild vigna species ... -

Wide hybridization potential of alien genetic transfers for triticum aestivum improvement
(1990)In the Triticeae, hybridization of alien species with those of Triticum goes back to 1876 when Wilson consciously made the first wide hybrid involving wheat and rye. Rimpau in 1891 obtained seed on a presumably doubled sector in a wheat × rye hybrid and described 12 plants that must represent the first triticale. A more divergent hybrid (wheat × barley) was first reported by Farrer in 1904 that was considered rather improbable to be a true hybrid (Shepherd and Islam 1981). -
