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 ...

News from CGIAR Collaborative Research Program for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Central Asia and the Caucasus (CAC) covering the countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, ...
Expression of different mechanisms of resistance to insects in groundnut under field conditions
Host plant resistance is an important component of pest management, and information on contribution of different mechanisms of resistance is important for developing cultivars with resistance to the target pests. Therfore, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
