In legumes, pod shattering occurs when mature pods dehisce along the sutures, and
detachment of the valves promotes seed dispersal. In Phaseolus vulgaris (L)., the major …

Pod dehiscence is a major source of yield loss in legumes, which is exacerbated by aridity.
Disruptive mutations in “Pod indehiscent 1”(PDH1), a pod sclerenchyma‐specific lignin …

Though crossing wild relatives to modern cultivars is a usual means to introduce alleles of
stress tolerance, an alternative is de novo domesticating wild species that are already …

Loss of pod shattering is one of the most important domestication-related traits in legume
crops. The non-shattering phenotypes have been achieved either by disturbed formation of …

Yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. sesquipedalis), a subgroup of cowpea, is
an important vegetable legume crop of Asia where its young pods are consumed in both …

Zombi pea [Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich] is a legume crop found in Africa. Wild zombi pea is
widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, whereas domesticated …

Pod dehiscence causes important yield losses in cultivated crops and therefore has been a
key trait strongly selected against in crop domestication. In spite of the growing knowledge …

Context Agronomical traits like loss of seed dispersal targeted by ancient human selection
are an important milestone of crop domestication. Evolution in plant species is a result of …

In the present study we evaluated a core set of 254 cowpea genotypes for seven pod
physical traits and shattering score using a modified weighted average screening system …

Soybean is an important crop in the world cultivated for its oil and protein content. It is a
significant component of the small holder cropping system and has the potential to become …
