An interesting field study of pea vines, conducted by Washington State University, is available online at agsyst.wsu.edu/peareport.htm.htm
Despite the fact that our aim here was to discover SNPs and not to build a representative unigene set of pea transcriptome, we conducted a functional annotation of contigs mainly to check assembly quality.
Orthologous relationships between grain aphid and pea aphid genes were conducted by using ETE [ 23].
Many diversity studies have been conducted in pea, so far mainly using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers [ 5- 10] or polymorphisms of insertion sites of PDR1 Ty1-copia group retrotransposons (RBIP) [ 4, 8, 11].
Furthermore, P. bilaii has been identified to increase biomass production and P uptake and grain yield in wheat, canola, bean, pea and lentil in experiments conducted in growth chambers and in the field [14, 23 25].
Two trials were conducted to study pea protein concentrate (PPC) as a substitute of soya bean meal (SBM), soya protein concentrate (SPC) or fullfat soya bean (FFSB) in the diet on equivalent protein basis, on productive performance and digestive traits of piglets.
To this end, a field experiment was conducted on three pea cultivars that were characterized at both stand and plant scale when grown in pure stands and mixed with wheat.
Two studies were conducted to evaluate field peas and wet or dry corn distillers grains with solubles (WDGS and DDGS, respectively) in finishing and growing diets.
Diversity studies conducted so far in pea used Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Retrotransposon Based Insertion Polymorphism (RBIP) markers.
The measurements of the ms-DLE were conducted using an M-PEA fluorometer (Hansatech Instruments, Norfolk, UK) according to Wang et al. [ 42] with modifications.
