Breeding cowpea for resistance to striga gesnerioides in the Nigerian dry savannas using marker-assisted selection
Historically, conventional breeding has been the primary strategy used to develop a number of Striga-resistant varieties currently grown in the Sahel of Western Africa. In this study, we have successfully developed and applied a marker-assisted selection strategy that employs a single backcross prog...
