Construction of a single nucleotide polymorphism linkage map and identification of quantitative trait loci controlling heat tolerance in cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.

Abstract excerpt

Plant tolerance to heat or high temperature is crucial to crop production, especially in the situation of elevated temperature resulting from global climate change. Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., is an internationally important legume food crop and an excellent pool of genes for numerous traits resilient to environmental extremes, particularly heat and drought. Here, we report a single nucleotide...
