The moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia), possibly the most primitive crop of the genus Vigna, is a
highly drought-and heat-resistant legume grown in arid areas. Moth bean domestication …

Abstract Background Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) is an underutilized, protein-rich legume
that is grown in arid and semi-arid areas of south Asia and is highly resistant to abiotic …

Background The objective of this study was to dissect into quantitative trait loci (QTLs) the
large morphological and physiological differences between cultivated azuki bean (Vigna …

The genetic differences between mungbean and its presumed wild ancestor were analyzed
for domestication related traits by QTL mapping. A genetic linkage map of mungbean was …

Abstract Background and Aims The genetics of domestication of yardlong bean [Vigna
unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. unguiculata cv.-gr. sesquipedalis] is of particular interest …

Understanding the genetic basis underlying domestication-related traits (DRTs) of cowpea
(Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is important since the genome has experienced divergent …

Abstract Background and Aims The Asian genus Vigna, to which four cultivated species (rice
bean, azuki bean, mung bean and black gram) belong, is suitable for comparative …

Rapid progress in genomic research and the development of genome-wide molecular
markers for various crops significantly improved our knowledge on plant domestication and …

Zombi pea [Vigna vexillata (L.) A. Rich] is a legume crop found in Africa. Wild zombi pea is
widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, whereas domesticated …

Azuki bean (Vigna angularis) and rice bean (V. umbellata) are locally important legumes
that were domesticated in Asia. They are genetically closely related and therefore suitable …
