Application of multi‐locus GWAS for the detection of bruchid resistance loci in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)

Abstract: Identification of genes associated with bruchid resistance variations in cowpea accessions would help breeders to generate new cowpea cultivars with improved resistance and quality. In this work, 107 cowpea collections from various areas in six countries were phenotyped for their responses to Callosobruchus maculatus and genotyped with Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers. Six multi-locus models Genome Wide Association Study (mrMLM, FASTmrMLM, pKWmEB, pLARmEB, FASTmrEMMA and ISISEM-BLASSO) were used to… Show more

“…Although GWAS has been used to investigate the genetic control of important traits in cowpea, including seed size, flowering time, black seed coat color, root architecture, pod length, and insect resistance (Burridge et al., 2017; Herniter et al., 2018; Kpoviessi et al., 2022; Lo et al., 2019; Muñoz‐Amatriaín et al., 2021; Paudel et al., 2021; Xu et al., 2017), this is the first study to use single and multi‐trait approaches to dissect the genetic architecture of phenological traits. The integration of single and multiple trait association analysis allowed the detection of new genomic regions involved in relevant phenological traits.…”

“…Bruchids have high fecundity and the ability to re-infest, in addition to causing irreversible damage to soybeans (4); therefore, bruchid damage to soybean grain can lead to 100% yield losses (1), (3). To minimize yield losses to bruchids, farmers have been employing various management strategies including insecticides, botanically active plants, and cultural practices (5), (6). However, the majority of farmers tend to use insecticides for bruchid management (5).…”

“…This knowledge gap makes it difficult to implement marker-assisted selection (MAS) to combat the devastating impact of bruchids in Uganda and some parts of Sub-Saharan Africa that share the same genetic material. However, several studies have been carried out in other legumes aimed to determine quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions conferring bruchid resistance in cowpea using both bi-parental (13) and diverse (6), (12) populations and in common bean using bi-parental (14) and diverse (5) populations.…”
