Four traits, including seed weight, length, width and density were evaluated across three locations. Using 51,128 single nucleotide polymorphisms covering the cowpea genome, 17 loci were identifed for these traits. One locus was common to weight, width and length, suggesting pleiotropy." genotyping_platform: Cowpea1MSelectedSNPs publication_doi: 10.1007/s00122-019-03407-z publication_title: "A genome-wide association and meta-analysis reveal regions associated with seed size in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.)
