Towards Integrating Genomics in Breeding in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract

Groundnut is an important oilseed crop grown extensively in the semi-arid tropics of Asia, Africa and Latin America. However, its production is adversely challenged by drought and foliar diseases such as late leaf spot (LLS) and leaf rust (LR). Marker-assisted selection offers an important tool to enhance tolerance
