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 ...
Post-harvest management of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut
Aflatoxin contamination in groundnut by Aspergillus section Flavi is a major pre-and post-harvest problem causing kernel-quality loss. Post-harvest aflatoxin contamination is caused initially by infestation of aflatoxigenic ...
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 ...
Translational Genomics in Agriculture: Some Examples in Grain Legumes
Recent advances in genomics and associated disciplines like
bioinformatics havemade it possible to develop genomic resources, such as large-scale sequence data for any crop species.While these datasets have been proven ...
Peg Biology: Deciphering the Molecular Regulations Involved During Peanut Peg Development
Peanut or groundnut is one of the most important legume crops with high protein and oil content. The high nutritional qualities of peanut and its multiple usage have made it an indispensable component of our daily life, ...
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 ...
Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
Yield under drought stress is a highly complex trait with large influence to even a minor fluctuation in the environmental conditions. Genomics-assisted breeding holds great promise for improving such complex traits more ...
