Genetic relationship of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties from Senegal based on SSR markers
, “Genetic relationship of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties from Senegal based on SSR markers”, vol. 11, pp. 292-304, 2012.
Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among 22 local cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties and inbred lines collected throughout Senegal were evaluated using simple sequence repeat molecular markers. A set of 49 primer combinations were developed from cowpea genomic/expressed sequence tags and evaluated for their ability to detect polymorphisms among the various cowpea genotypes. Forty-four primer combinations detected polymorphisms, with the remaining five primer sets failing to yield PCR amplification products.
