Popis: |
The cowpea is one of the most important legume species globally, with both the grains and fresh pods widely consumed for the rich nutritional content. In the Republic of Korea, the cultivation and breeding progress of cowpeas is relatively low but gradually receiving interest due to its potential contribution to nutrition and sustainable agriculture. Given the changing pattern of global climatic conditions, any effort in cowpea breeding in Korea may focus on important traits such as improving yield, stress resistance, and adaptability to local climate. This review provides a discussion on the current status of the cultivation and breeding of cowpeas in the Republic of Korea, with the aim of improving crop performance, agricultural sustainability, and food security. |
