Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata  L.) is an important grain legume that is grown extensively in Africa, South America, India, and in the United States. This study investigated the effects of silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ) on regeneration of cowpea cotyledon explants. Silver nitrate at 50 μ m  significantly increased percent regeneration in comparison to the control. The effect of duration of exposure was also determined with the ethylene inhibitor AgNO 3 . By exposing explants to 59 μ m  AgNO 3  during different stages of culture, significant increases were actualized in percent regeneration and shoot number. The greatest percent regeneration was obtained when 59 μ m  AgNO 3  was augmented to both the initiation and regeneration media or to only the regeneration media. These results indicate that the low percentage of regeneration of this genotype may be related to ethylene biosynthesis or metabolism. This study resulted in an improved regeneration system for the commercial cowpea cultivar Early Scarlet, and will be useful in developing a cowpea transformation system.
