The genome of cultivated peanut provides insight into legume karyotypes, polyploid evolution and crop domestication
High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules and 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We ...
Transcriptomewide sequencing provides insights into geocarpy in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
A characteristic feature of peanut is the subterranean fructification, geocarpy, in which the
gynophore (‘peg’), a specialized organ that transitions from upward growth habit to
downward outgrowth upon fertilization, drives ...
Mitigating Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut through A Combination of Genetic Resistance and Post-Harvest Management Practices
Aflatoxin is considered a “hidden poison” due to its slow and adverse effect on various biological pathways in humans, particularly among children, in whom it leads to delayed development, stunted growth, liver damage, and ...
