Discovery of genomic regions and candidate genes controlling shelling percentage using QTL ‐seq approach in cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.)
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important grain legume providing high‐quality cooking oil, rich proteins and other nutrients. Shelling percentage (SP) is the 2nd most important agronomic trait after pod yield ...
Genotyping-by-sequencing based genetic mapping reveals large number of epistatic interactions for stem rot resistance in groundnut
Key message
Genetic mapping identified large number of epistatic interactions indicating the complex genetic architecture for stem rot disease resistance.
Abstract
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important global crop ...
Seed Business Venture Identification Workshop – Pictures
A seed business venture identification workshop is conducted to identify prospective seed entrepreneurs and from them 10 farmers are selected after interviewing, followed they are trained in best practices.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
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 ...
