This paper is a contribution to the establishment of a new capacity development (CD) strategy, a process that the Consortium Office will facilitate, with external input, during 2013. The paper explores the lessons learned from CGIAR’s experience with CD and reflects the findings of a working grou...

Lessons learned and ways forward on CGIAR capacity development: A discussion paper
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a major tropical legume crop grown in warm to hot areas throughout the world and especially important to the people of sub-Saharan Africa where the crop was domesticated. To date, relatively little is understood about its domestication origins and patterns...

Consensus genetic linkage maps are formed from merging individual linkage maps. They provide powerful tools for genetic analysis and a foundation for marker-assisted breeding, trait mapping, and positional cloning. In 2009, the first cowpea consensus map was developed. It included 928 markers spa...
The genomics revolution has enabled rapid advances in genotyping capabilities and construction of high-density genetic linkage maps that enable new plant breeding strategies which have the potential to expedite delivery of improved crop varieties. These breeding strategies utilize mole...
