  abstract = {{F}lowering time is a major adaptive trait in plants and an important selection criterion in the breeding for genetic improvement of crop species. {QTL}s for the time of flower opening and days to flower were identified in a cross between a short duration domesticated cowpea ({V}igna unguiculata ({L}.) {W}alp.) variety, 524{B}, and a relatively long duration wild accession, 219-01. {A} set of 159 {F}-7 lines was grown under greenhouse conditions and scored for the flowering time associated phenotypes of time of flower opening and days to flower. {U}sing a {LOD} threshold of 2.0, putative {QTL}s were identified and placed on a linkage map consisting of 202 {SSR} markers and four morphological loci. {A} total of five {QTL}s related to the time of flower opening were identified, accounting for 8.8%-29.8% of the phenotypic variation. {T}hree {QTL}s for days to flower were detected, accounting for 5.7%-18.5% of the phenotypic variation. {T}he major {QTL} of days to flower and time of flower opening were both mapped on linkage group 1. {T}he {QTL}s identified in this study provide a strong foundation for further validation and fine mapping for developing an efficient way to restrain the gene flow between the cultivated and wild plants.},
