This study identifies three QTLs conferring resistance to root-knot nematodes in lima beans, with two affecting both nematode species and one specific to M. incognita.

The paper evaluates genotypic and phenotypic traits of lima bean accessions across environments to support breeding, identifying genomic associations and establishing a core collection.

This paper introduces the LIgHT approach to test mechanistic hypotheses of genetic variations in plant stress tolerance, finding that chilling stress tolerance is linked to avoiding PSII photodamage.

The paper analyzes genetic variation in 2,021 cowpea accessions to identify population structure and map the genetic basis of seed coat pigmentation traits.

This study maps seed coat pattern traits in cowpea to three loci using genomic resources and identifies candidate genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis.

This study presents a high-quality genome assembly of cowpea, identifies genomic features, and discovers a chromosomal inversion linked to Striga resistance.

The paper identifies a novel QTL on chromosome Vu01 conferring broad-based resistance to root-knot nematodes in cowpea, enhancing genetic resistance options.

This study identifies 16 QTL associated with domestication-related traits in cowpea and locates candidate genes, providing genomic insights for breeding programs.

The paper develops a MAGIC population for cowpea to dissect genetic traits and improve breeding, identifying trait-associated SNPs and recombination patterns.
