Book Genetic Architecture of Salt and Drought Tolerance in Cowpea

Download or read book Genetic Architecture of Salt and Drought Tolerance in Cowpea written by Waltram Second Ravelombola and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a diploid and nutrient-dense legume species. It provides affordable source of protein to human. Cowpea cultivation is prevalent in Africa, Asia, the western and southern U.S., and Central and South America. However, earlier reports have shown that drought and salt stress can be devastating to cowpea production. The objectives of this study were to screen for salt and drought tolerance in cowpea and to identify molecular markers associated with these traits. Simple methodologies to screen for drought (Chapter 2) and salt tolerance were developed (Chapter 3). Results suggested that: 1) a total of 14, 18, 5, 5, and 35 SNPs were associated with plant growth habit change due to drought stress, drought tolerance index for maturity, flowering time, 100-seed weight, and grain yield respectively in a MAGIC cowpea population, the network-guided approach revealed clear interactions between the loci associated with the drought tolerance traits, and GS accuracy varied from low to moderate for this population, 2) a total of 7, 2, 18, 18, 3, 2, 5, 1, and 23 SNPs were associated with various traits evaluated for salt tolerance in a MAGIC cowpea population, some of these SNPs were in the vicinity of potassium channel and biomolecule transporters, and significant epistatic interactions were found 3) a large variation of salt tolerance and drought tolerance was found in the panel involving 331 cowpea genotypes which were genotyped with 14,465,516 SNPs obtained from whole-genome resequencing, 4) tolerance to salt and drought-related traits seemed to be associated with the geographical origins of the cowpea genotypes, 5) a significant GWAS peak defined by a cluster of 196 significant SNPs and mapped on a 210-kb region of chromosome 5 was identified to be a good locus candidate for tolerance to trifoliate leaf chlorosis under drought stress in cowpea and harbored hormone-induced genes, and 6) a strong candidate locus for tolerance to leaf score injury under salt stress and defined by a cluster of 1,400 significant SNPs on chromosome 3 was identified and this region harbored a potassium channel gene. The results from this study could contribute to a better understanding of salt and drought tolerance in cowpea. The salt- and drought-tolerant genotypes could be used as parents in cowpea breeding programs.

Book Genetics Physiology and Cultivation of Moth Bean Cowpea and Horse Gram

Download or read book Genetics Physiology and Cultivation of Moth Bean Cowpea and Horse Gram written by Rakesh Pathak and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authored book gives insight into the morphology, physiology, genetics, plant protection and biotechnology of three important arid legumes, viz., moth bean, cowpea and horse gram. There are seven chapters for each crop that provide in-depth information on cultivation, genetic improvement, plant protection measures, management of physiological and abiotic stresses along with related genetic markers and biotechnological advances pertaining to these legumes. The chapters present research findings and brief reviews concerning the advances made in the improvement of these legumes.Legumes are utilized as pulses or grains aiding as an important source of protein for both human and animal consumption and also provide raw materials to the food and feed industries. They are also valuable for soil building, improving soil quality and biological nitrogen fixation. Physiology and genetics provide an inimitable source of information on the distinct aspects of basic and applied legume research for general readers, students, academicians and researchers. Arid legumes are crops characterized by inherent features and capabilities to withstand adverse and harsh climatic conditions, significantly replenish the soil, as well as provide protein and micronutrients. Adaptability to several stresses including drought makes them key to agriculture in areas receiving scanty rainfall. This comprehensive book disseminates significant information on the genetic diversity, cultivation, manipulation through mutagenic techniques, molecular biology and other breeding techniques. The book, therefore, is of importance to teachers, researchers and policymakers who are interested to acquire knowledge about moth bean, cowpea and horse gram. It also serves as an additional reading material for MSc and PhD students of agriculture and environmental sciences. The book is also useful to national and international agricultural scientists and policymakers.
