  abstract = {{F}loral scent is a very important trait in plant evolution. {C}urrently, little is known about the inheritance of floral scent in cowpea ({V}igna unguiculata {L}.) or changes that might have occurred during its domestication. {T}herefore, we analysed scent volatiles and molecular markers in a population of 159{F}(7) recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross of a domesticated blackeye cowpea cultivar, 524{B}' and a wild accession 219-01'. {U}sing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ({GC}-{MS}) 23 volatile compounds were identified that fall into five general functional categories. {T}wenty-two of the compounds displayed quantitative variation in the progeny, and a total of 63 {QTL}s influencing the amounts of these volatiles were mapped onto the cowpea genetic marker map. {A}lthough {QTL}s for volatile compounds putatively involved in cowpea flower scent were found on 9 of the 11 cowpea chromosomes, they were not evenly distributed with {QTL}s mainly clustered on {LG}s 1, {LG}s 2 and {LG} 4. {O}ur results serve as a starting point for both more detailed analyses of complex scent biosynthetic pathways and the development of markers for marker-assisted breeding of scented rose varieties.},
