Abstract

Cowpea genetic diversity assessments have focused on African germplasm with limited exploration of cowpea germplasm from multiple genebanks and origins. This cowpea collection revealed that cowpea's dispersal history throughout the globe is synonymous with its genetic structure, highlighting opportunities to enhance crop improvement by utilising untapped worldwide genetic resources.
