The timing of flowering, and in particular the degree to which it is responsive to the
environment, is a key factor in the adaptation of a given species to various eco-geographic …

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a legume with a constant rate of cultivation in
Southern European countries. Consumer demand for cowpea worldwide is rising due to its …

Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a warm-season legume with a genetically
diverse gene-pool composed of wild and cultivated forms. Cowpea domestication involved …

Loss of seed-coat impermeability was essential in the domestication of many leguminous
crops to promote the production of their highly nutritious seeds. Here we show that seed …

Key message This paper combined GWAS, meta-analysis and sequence homology
comparison with common bean to identify regions associated with seed size variation in …

Legume crops are relevant globally to the feeding and the nutrition of humans and animals
because of their relatively high seed content of protein and essential amino acids …

Key message QTL analysis revealed 11 QTL underlying flowering time and fruit size
variation in the semi-wild Xishuangbanna cucumber, of which, FT6. 2 and FS5. 2 played the …

Cowpeas (tropical legumes) are important in ensuring food and nutritional security in
developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Herein, we report two high-quality …

In cucumber, the genetic basis of traits under domestication and/or diversifying selection is
not well understood. Here, we reported QTL mapping for flowering time and fruit size‐related …

Yardlong bean [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. unguiculata cv.-gr. sesquipedalis] is a
vegetable legume crop evolved from cultivated grain cowpea (V. unguiculata ssp …
