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

Legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, mostly grown in marginal
environments, are the major source of nutrition and protein to the human population in Asia …

The paper presents an improved-RFC (Random Forest Classifier) approach for multi-class
disease classification problem. It consists of a combination of Random Forest machine …

Global climate change is one of the major constraints limiting plant growth, production, and
sustainability worldwide. Moreover, breeding efforts in the past years have focused on …

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 …

Despite several efforts in the last decade toward development of simple sequence repeat
(SSR) markers in peanut, there is still a need for more markers for conducting different …

Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping has been thoroughly used in peanut genetics and
breeding in spite of the narrow genetic diversity and the segmental tetraploid nature of the …

Premise of the Study The genetic bottleneck of polyploid formation can be mitigated by
multiple origins, gene flow, and recombination among different lineages. In crop plants with …

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a multi-purpose legume crop widely cultivated in sub-
Saharan Africa (SSA). However, yield levels of the crop has remained relatively low in SSA …

About 90% of total groundnut is cultivated in the semi-arid tropic (SAT) regions of the world
as a major oilseed and food crop and provides essential nutrients required by human diet …
