A multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population for genetic analysis and improvement of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) by Huynh, B.L., Ehlers, J.D., Huang, B.E., Muñoz Amatriarin, M., Lonardi, S., Santos, J.R.P., Ndeve, A., Batieno, Benoit Joseph, Boukar, O., Cisse, N., Drabo, I., Fatokun, C.A., Kusi, F., Agyare, R.Y., Guo, Y.N., Herniter, I., Lo, S., Wanamaker, S.I., Xu, S., Close, T.J., Roberts, P.A.

“…These founders were genetically diverse and carried many abiotic and biotic stress resistance, seed quality and agronomic traits relevant to cowpea improvement in the United States and sub‐Saharan Africa, where cowpea is vitally important in the human diet and local economies. The eight parents were inter‐crossed using structured matings to ensure that the population would have balanced representation from each parent, followed by single‐seed descent, resulting in 305 F8 recombinant inbred lines each carrying a mosaic of genome blocks contributed by all founders. …”
