Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Cowpea is an important warm-season legume growing in arid and semi-arid regions. The cowpea productivity is low compared to other legumes such as chickpea, lentil, faba bean and mung bean. The low productivity is attributed to different abiotic and biotic stresses, therefore, different breeding strategies have been introduced and implemented to alleviate the negative impact of environmental stresses. In this chapter, we reviewed the contributions of conventional approaches and modern breeding strategies and their role in the improvement of cowpea genotypes. This chapter discusses in detail challenges and landmark achievements of hybridization, tissue culture, mutation breeding and molecular breeding and its role in mitigating the abiotic and biotic stresses, improving yield and nutritional traits, mining of QTLs associated with economically important traits, development and fine tuning of genetic maps in cowpea.
