Genotype X Environment Interactions for Oil Content in Peanut and Stable High-Oil-Yielding Sources
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes with superior and stable agronomic performance and high oil content were identified from testing of 160 advanced breeding lines over six seasons. The study revealed significant genotype ...
Foliar fungal disease-resistant introgression lines of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) record higher pod and haulm yield in multilocation testing
Introgression lines (ILs) of groundnut with enhanced resistance to rust and late leaf spot (LLS) recorded increased pod and haulm yield in multilocation testing. Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach was used to ...
Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Evolution and impacts of groundnut research and development in Malawi: An ex-post analysis
Groundnut is currently the second income earner for smallholder farmers in Malawi, and an inexpensive
source of balanced protein. Owing to the continued crop improvement research and extension efforts,
production has risen ...
Partnerships for Unlocking Potential in Groundnut Value Chains in Zimbabwe
Groundnuts are an important crop in Zimbabwe, grown by a large proportion of smallholder farmers (36%); groundnuts are second after
maize in terms of area coverage. Groundnuts can provide an important source of food and ...
Assessing the prospects of Streptomyces sp. RP1A-12 in managing groundnut stem rot disease caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc
Stem rot of groundnut caused by the soilborne
pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii can cause significant yield
losses. Biological control of stem rot using actinomycetes
is a viable alternative to existing fungicidal management.
Though ...
Global Resources of Genetic Diversity in Peanut
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual herb, with geocarpic fruits, and an indeterminate growth habit. It is classified
as a legume in the plant family Fabaceae. Carl Linneaus first described the cultivated ...
Potential sources of resistance to multiple biotic stresses in groundnut (arachis hypogaea l.)
The culti vated groundnut is an important oi Iseed crop of the world. Several biotic stresses reduce groundnut yields considerably. Culti
va tion of resistant varieties is an ecologically sound and economically viable ...
Registration of ‘Serenut 5R’ Groundnut
’Serenut 5R’ (Reg. No. CV-129, PI 676092) is a new highyielding,
spanish-type groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp.
fastigiata var. vulgaris) with two seeds per pod. Serenut 5R was
released in 2010 by the National Semi-Arid ...
Annotation of Trait Loci on Integrated Genetic Maps of Arachis Species
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is second, behind soybean, in the world’s legume oilseed market. In 2012, global
production was 41.2metric tons from an area of 24.7million hectares (FAOSTAT, 2014). Yield of peanut ...
