Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), a self-pollinated legume is an important crop cultivated in 24 million ha world over for extraction of edible oil and food uses. The kernels are rich (48-50%) protein (25-28%), source several vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, biologically active polyphenols, flavonoids, isoflavones. Improved varieties groundnut with high yield potential were developed released cultivation over. improved belong to different maturity durations possess resistance diseases,...
Successful introgression of a major QTL for rust resistance, through marker-assisted backcrossing, in three popular Indian peanut cultivars generated several promising lines with enhanced resistance and higher yield. Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia arachidis Speg, is one the devastating diseases (Arachis hypogaea L.). One region on linkage group AhXV explaining upto 82.62 % phenotypic variation was validated introgressed from cultivar 'GPBD 4' into susceptible varieties ('ICGV 91114', 'JL 24'...
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) b09 (ahFAD2B) control composition three major fatty acids, oleic, linoleic palmitic acids which together determine oil quality. In conventional breeding, selection for acid is delayed advanced generations. However by using DNA markers, breeders can reject large number plants in early generations therefore optimize...
Abstract Fostering a culture of continuous improvement through regular monitoring genetic trends in breeding pipelines is essential to improve efficiency and increase accountability. This the first global study estimate across International Maize Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) tropical maize eastern southern Africa (ESA), South Asia, Latin America over past decade. Data from total 4152 advanced trials 34,813 entries, conducted at 1331 locations 28 countries globally, were used for this...
Abstract Seed quality for both germination in the next generation and human consumption is adversely affected due to preharvest sprouting peanut. It also makes seeds more vulnerable infection by a number of pathogens. Therefore, it desirable have 2–3 weeks fresh seed dormancy ( FSD ) peanut varieties. In this context, one F 2 population was developed from cross between non‐dormant ICGV 00350) dormant 97045) genotypes. Phenotyping showed control trait two recessive genes. parallel, genotyping...
Combining ability status of the inbred lines is crucial information for hybrid breeding program. Diallel or line × tester mating designs are frequently used to evaluate combining ability. In current study a modified diallel model was used, wherein Griffing’s effects were further partitioned understand due maternal and reciprocal. To do this, eight parental maize crossed in full method generated hybrids along with parents phenotyped. The field data on quantitative traits analyzed using both...
Peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes with superior and stable agronomic performance high oil content were identified from testing of 160 advanced breeding lines over six seasons. The study revealed significant genotype × environment (G E) interaction determining protein content; shelling outturn; pod, kernel, yield in peanut. variability among was across the environments for pod (546–7382 kg ha −1 ), (301–2742 (37–60%), 100‐seed weight (21–127 g), (19–31%). GGE biplot technique that ICGV...
Abstract Maize is an important agricultural crop ensuring food and nutritional security throughout the globe. It highly sensitive to many of biotic abiotic stresses, among them, drought most severe stress limiting maize production. Climate change tends worsen this scenario by changing precipitation patterns decreasing water availability. Hence, present study was undertaken identify drought‐tolerant inbred lines under well‐irrigated managed conditions in field toward developing...

Seed germination and seedling vigour in aging seeds of 32 groundnut genotypes was studied under ambient storage conditions to assess the extent variability for these traits storage. The association, if any with seed soil content mass also examined. Both,seed declined all test genotypes. However, rate decrease varied among suggesting significant genotypic difference possibility their improvement through breeding. Aging has strong negative effect on both, root shoot growth seedlings, but...
