Charrua, Alberto B.; Havik, Philip J.; Bandeira, Salomão; Catarino, Luís; Ribeiro-Barros, Ana; Cabral, Pedro; Moldão, Margarida; Romeiras, Maria M.In Mozambique (South-eastern Africa), Phaseolus vulgaris and Vigna spp. are important staple foods and a major source of dietary protein for local populations, particularly for people living in rural areas who lack the financial capacity to include meat in their daily dietary options. This study focuses on the potential for improving diets with locally produced nutritious legumes whilst increasing food security...

Exploring physicochemical and cytogenomic diversity of African cowpea and commo...
Catarino, Sílvia; Brilhante, Miguel; Essoh, Anyse Pereira; Charrua, Alberto B.; Rangel, Josefa; Roxo, Guilherme; Varela, Eromise; Moldão, MargaridaIn sub-Saharan Africa, grain legumes (pulses) are essential food sources and play an important role in sustainable agriculture. Among the major pulse crops, the native cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and introduced common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) stand out. This paper has two main goals. First, we provide a comprehensive view of the available genetic resources of these genera in Africa, including data on germplasm ...

Assessment of the vulnerability of coastal mangrove ecosystems in Mozambique
Charrua, Alberto B.; Bandeira, Salomão O.; Catarino, Silvia; Cabral, Pedro; Romeiras, Maria M.Mangrove forests are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth. However, there is still insufficient information available for strategic prediction of conservation and management intervention, particularly in the case of Mozambique. This country has the longest coastline and mangrove forests of Eastern Africa, but is prone to global climate hazards. Using recent field data and environmental parameters subje...
