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 …

Induced mutation in plant improvement has been used in several crops to generate new
sources of genetic variations. A study was conducted to determine the effect of different …

Peanut is an important oilseed and food crop worldwide; however, the development of new
cultivars is limited by its remarkably low genetic variability. Therefore, in order to enhance …
