Development of chloroplast genome resources for peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and other species of Arachis

The Proteins of the Peanut, Arachis Hypogaea.

The ravages of the boll weevil have made it unprofitable to grow cotton in various sections throughout the South. In many regions where the growing of cotton has been decreased, peanuts are now being grown as a supplementary crop. This has caused a large increase in the production of peanuts in the United States. A number of mills which in the past produced cottonseed oil are now using their pr...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Omics and Biotechnology in China

Peanut is one of the most important crops in the world, both for vegetative oil and as a protein source. Biotechnology approaches provide promising ways to increase peanut productivity, either through improved seed quality or stress resistance. These approaches require the identification of genes that control important agronomical traits, the understanding of gene regulation and metabolic pathw...

Shallow Whole Genome Sequencing for the Assembly of Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Arachis hypogaea L.

Photocontrol of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Embryo and Ovule Development in Vitro.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the nature of the photoreceptor that controls the light-dependent development of the peanut ovule and embryo, and to determine whether this photoreceptor activity is located in the ovular or the embryonic tissue. Peanut ovules were aseptically excised from surface sterilized gynophores (pegs) and cultured in darkness, continuous far red (FR), or...

Successful crosses between fungal-resistant wild species of Arachis (section Arachis) and Arachis hypogaea

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is the fifth most produced oil crop worldwide. Besides lack of water, fungal diseases are the most limiting factors for the crop. Several species of Arachis are resistant to certain pests and diseases. This study aimed to successfully cross the A-genome with B-K-A genome wild species previously selected for fungal disease resistance, but that are still untested. We als...
