Genetic architecture of salt tolerance in a Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) cowpea population

Abstract Background Previous reports have shown that soil salinity is a growing threat to cowpea production, and thus the need for breeding salt-tolerant cowpea cultivars. A total of 234 Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) lines along with their 8 founders were evaluated for salt to...
