Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Efficiency of breeding programs of legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and
groundnut has been considerably improved over the past decade through deployment of …

Key message Groundnut has entered now in post-genome era enriched with optimum
genomic and genetic resources to facilitate faster trait dissection, gene discovery and …

Foliar fungal diseases (rust and late leaf spot) incur large yield losses, in addition to the
deterioration of fodder quality in groundnut worldwide. High oleic acid has emerged as a key …

Seed weight in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has direct impact on yield as well as
market price because of preference for bold seeds by consumers and industry, thereby …

Groundnut is an important food and oil crop in the semiarid tropics, contributing to
household food consumption and cash income. In Asia and Africa, yields are low attributed …

High oleic trait, resistance to rust and late leaf spot (LLS) are important breeding objectives
in groundnut. Rust and LLS cause significant economic loss, and high oleic trait is an …

Introduction Fungal foliar diseases can severely affect the productivity of the peanut crop
worldwide. Late leaf spot is the most frequent disease and a major problem of the crop in …

Peanut growth, development, and eventual production are constrained by biotic and abiotic
stresses resulting in serious economic losses. To understand the response and tolerance …

The aim of this study was to identify candidate resistance genes for late leaf spot (LLS) and
rust diseases in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). We used a double-digest restriction-site …
