Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with effects on resistance to flower bud thrips (megalurothrips sjostedti) identified in recombinant inbred lines of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp)

The first major insect pest of cowpea at reproductive stage is the flower bud thrips (FTh), which, if not controlled, is capable of causing significant grain yield reduction. Breeding for resistance to FTh in cowpea has been hindered by the quantitative nature of the resistance, and the breakdown of...
