Somatic mutations, occurring in non-reproductive cells like liver cells, are not inherited and die with the individual. In contrast, germline mutations in sperm and eggs can be passed to future generations, making them significant in genetic inheritance. Understanding this distinction is crucial for comprehending how genetic information is transmitted across generations.

It reviews past collections, reveals higher genetic diversity in hybrids compared to cultivated varieties, and identifies challenges such as low genetic diversity among cultivated accessions. Comparative studies show Senegal's cowpea diversity is lower than Nigeria's but higher than several other countries.
