Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for cowpea resistance to flower bud thrips (Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom)

Cowpea flower bud thrips causes about 80% yield losses in cowpea. Host plant resistance is the most easy and durable solution to the damaging effects caused by this insect. However, resistance to thrips is quantitatively inherited, thus less amenable through conventional breeding. The objective of t...
