Abstract:Cowpea has great socioeconomic importance for the Northeast region of Brazil. However, this region suffers from water scarcity, leading to reduced production. Therefore, it is important to identify varieties adapted to water stress conditions. With that aim, this work characterized cowpea creole varieties at the seedling stage using ISSR markers and the Screening Box method. DNA samples extracted from 50 creole varieties were evaluated using ISSR markers. Among them, two were used as controls, one tolerant (Pi… Show more
