Abstract excerpt
The identification of loci related to seed and yield component traits in cowpea constitutes a key step for improvement through marker-assisted selection (MAS). Furthermore, seed morphology has an impact on industrial processing and influences consumer and farmer preferences. In this study, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on a mini-core collection of cowpea to dissect the genetic architecture...
