Leaf morphology in Cowpea [<it>Vigna unguiculata</it> (L.) Walp]: QTL analysis, physical mapping and identifying a candidate gene using synteny with model legume species

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cowpea [<it>Vigna unguiculata</it> (L.) Walp] exhibits a considerable variation in leaf shape. Although cowpea is mostly utilized as a dry grain and animal fodder crop, cowpea leaves are also used as a high-protein pot he...
