Genetic architecture of delayed senescence, biomass, and grain yield under drought stress in cowpea.

Genetic architecture of delayed senescence, biomass, and grain yield under drought stress in cowpea.

The stay-green phenomenon is a key plant trait with wide usage in managing crop production under limited water conditions. This trait enhances delayed senescence, biomass, and grain yield under drought stress. In this study we sought to identify QTLs in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) consistent across e...
