Researchers used genotyping by sequencing (GBS) to analyze the relationships among cowpea and asparagus bean landraces from southern Italy and other species. The analysis of SNPs derived from GBS showed that African cowpea samples were separated from other materials and Italian landraces clustered based on seed color/pattern. The wild subspecies of the species complex showed a clear separation between allogamous wild perennials and perennial out/inbreds, with the former being the more ancestral wild progenitors. The species appeared more closely related to cowpea than to other species analyzed. These findings demonstrate the utility of GBS technology in studying taxonomy and relationships between species.
