This study identifies two KNL2 genes in cowpea, characterizes their expression and subcellular localization, and examines their functional roles in centromere assembly and seed development.

VigExp provides a validated platform for visualizing cowpea gene expression across cell types and developmental stages, aiding in crop improvement.

This study analyzes the genetic diversity of cowpea using 10,617 accessions, revealing nine genetic groups and highlighting untapped genetic resources for crop improvement.

This study investigates how heavy metal stress influenced the evolutionary transition from teosinte to maize by analyzing gene expression and genetic diversity in response to copper and cadmium exposure.

This study identifies TTL3 as a novel protein linking brassinosteroid signaling and cytoskeleton in lateral root development in Arabidopsis.

The paper investigates the functional roles of two paralogous CENH3 variants in cowpea centromeres, finding that CENH3.1 is essential for plant development and reproduction while CENH3.2 shows reduced functionality.
