Conteúdo: 	Several research initiatives aimed at laying the foundation for introducing insect resistance into cowpea are being pursued at Purdue University, USA. This work is being done in collaboration with scientists in Italian institutes and at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). Ongoing studies at Purdue focus on: developing improved bioassay systems to use in finding and testing specific insect resistance genes; identifying specific genes that confer resistance on specific post-flowering pests: attempting to make interspecific crosses between wild, insect-resistant Vigna species and cultivated V. unguiculata; and the genetic transformation of cowpea, using particle-mediated and Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer.
