The objective of the present research was to estimate the magnitude of genetic variability for total phenol content and antioxidant activity of cowpea seed and investigate the genetics of these traits using generationu2019s means analysis. Seven pure lines, F1 and F2 generations as well as backcross populations (BC1) from three hybrid combinations, were grown in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in Ngaoundu00e9ru00e9 (Cameroon). For biochemical analysis, flour samples were produced from dehulled seeds. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences (p<0.01) among genotypes for phenolic c
