Genetic diversity and population structure of cowpea mutant collection using SSR and ISSR molecular markers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cowpea is a seed legume, important for food and nutritional security in Africa's arid and semi-arid zones. Despite its importance, cowpea is experiencing a loss of genetic diversity due to climate change. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability of 33 cowpea mutant collections using 20 SSR and 13 ISSR markers. This analysis shows an average number of alleles of 5.15 for SSR and 6.7 for ISSR. The highest average genetic distance based on Nei's index among subgroups was 0.740 and the value of polymorphism information content varied from 0.02 to 0.23 for SSR and from 0.05 to 0.36 for ISSR. Our results revealed high genetic diversity based on the GD (0.126), Fst (0.513), and Shannon information index (0.246). The population structure analysis showed 3 and 4 clusters for ISSR and SSR markers, respectively. Genetic variation, as assessed by analysis of molecular variance, mostly indicates higher genetic diversity within the population than among populations. The hierarchical clustering of combined SSR and ISSR markers grouped the accessions into four groups, supporting the STRUCTURE analysis results. Additionally, the combination of SSR and ISSR provided better information on the level of genetic diversity, and population structure, and was more effective in determining the relationship between cowpea collection. This study enhances our understanding of the genetic organization of our mutant collection which can be used in breeding programs in the era of climate change.
