Abstract excerpt
Heat tolerance is an important trait in cowpea, a crop that is the primary protein source for a large portion of the human population in sub-Saharan Africa. Cultivated, landrace, semi-wild, and wild cowpea grow across the region in diverse climatic conditions. This study used environmental association (envGWAS) and allele-frequency outlier approaches across a panel of 580 gene bank accessions to identify genomic...
