Abstract:The Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. can meet three burgeoning needs of tropical agriculture: low-cost protein source, high-value medicinal plant, and an excellent green manure cover crop. But like other underutilized crops, it lacks modern breeding resources. Identifying marker-trait associations (MTAs) can prompt marker-assisted breeding paving a way for development of the improved varieties. Recent studies have demonstrated feasibility of identifying MTAs using a small number of accessions (<100) triggering the… Show more
