Heat Tolerance in Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) Is Associated With Coordinated Canopy Cooling and Reproductive Stability Under Field Conditions
Elevated temperature during the reproductive phase severely constrains cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) productivity; however, the physiological and reproductive traits associated with heat tolerance under field conditions remain inadequately understood. In this study, 30 cowpea genotypes were evaluated...
