Assessment of Water Absorption Capacity and Cooking Time of Wild Under-Exploited Vigna Species towards their Domestication
(MDPI, 2019-09-04)
Some phenotypic traits from wild legumes are relatively less examined and exploited
towards their domestication and improvement. Cooking time for instance, is one of the most central
factors that direct a consumer’s ...
