ABSTRACT
Field experiments were carried out in 2006 and 2007
cropping seasons at the Teaching and Research Farm of the
Department of Crop Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to
study the inheritance pattern of days to flowering and quantitative
traits in cowpea. The experimental materials comprised 10 cowpea
accessions sourced from Plateau and Enugu States of Nigeria.
Reciprocal crosses were generated and the parents, F1, F2 and BC
populations were evaluated for days to flowering under long day
length (averaged 13.4 hd-1) and short day length (10hd-1)
conditions. Characters assessed included days to 50% emergence,
number of leaves plant-1, number of primary branches plant-1, vine
length, number of peduncles plant-1, number of flowers plant-1,
number of pods plant-1 and grain yield. The study established the
accessions from Plateau state as short day (SD) plants and those
from Enugu state as day neutral (DN) plants. The parental lines
differed significantly (P
