  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the genetic basis underlying domestication-related traits ({DRT}s) of cowpea ({V}igna unguiculata ({L}.) {W}alp.) is important since the genome has experienced divergent domestication and in addition it is also useful to utilize the wild germplasm efficiently for improving different traits of the cultivated cowpea. {Q}uantitative trait loci ({QTL}s) for {DRT}s were identified in a population of 159 {F}-7 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between a domesticated cowpea ({V}. unguiculata ({L}.) {W}alp.) variety, 524{B}, and a wild accession, 219. {U}sing the constructed linkage map, {QTL}s for 10 {DRT}s were analysed and mapped. {QTL}s for seed, pod and flower related traits were detected. {S}ubsequently, {QTL} for ovule number was also identified. {T}o our knowledge, this is the first time a {QTL} for this trait has been observed. {QTL}s for {DRT}s show co-localization on three linkage groups and pleiotropy or close linkage of genes for the traits is suggested in these chromosome regions. {T}he information gained in this study can be used for marker-assisted selection of domestication-related {QTL}s in cowpea and enhance understanding of domestication in the genus {V}igna.},
