Bambara groundnut: an exemplar underutilised legume for resilience under climate change por Mayes, S., Ho, W.K., Chai, H.H., Gao, X., Kundy, A.C., Mateva, K.I., Zahrulakmal, M., Hahiree, M.K., Kendabie, P., Licea, L.C.S., Massawe, F., Mabhaudhi, Tafadzwanashe, Modi, Albert Thembinkosi, Berchie, J.N., Amoah, S., Faloye, B., Abberton, Michael T., Oyatomi, Olaniyi, Azam-Ali, S.N.

“…However, as with most underutilised crops, there are significant gaps in knowledge and also negative traits such as ‘hard-to-cook’ and ‘photoperiod sensitivity to pod filling’ associated with the crop which future breeding programmes and processing methods need to tackle, to allow it to make a significant contribution to the well-being of future generations. The current review assesses these factors and also considers what are the next steps towards realising the potential of this crop.…”
