David Bertioli and colleagues report the genomes of Arachis duranensis ipaensis, diploid ancestors cultivated peanut, hypogaea. Their analyses are a first step in understanding evolution peanut's tetraploid genome. Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid with closely related subgenomes total size ∼2.7 Gb. This makes assembly chromosomal pseudomolecules very challenging. As foundation to genome we sequences its ipaensis). We show that these similar A B use them identify...
Like many other crops, the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is of hybrid origin and has a polyploid genome that contains essentially complete sets chromosomes from two ancestral species. Here we report sequence show after its origin, evolved through mobile-element activity, deletions by flow genetic information between corresponding (that is, homeologous recombination). Uniformity patterns recombination at ends favors single for wild counterpart A. monticola. However, much genome,...

Arachis hypogaea is a natural, well‐established allotetraploid (AABB) with 2 n = 40. However, researchers disagree on the diploid genome donor species and whether peanut originated by single or multiple events of polyploidization. Here we provide evidence genetic origin involved wild relatives using double GISH (genomic in situ hybridization). Seven (2 20), harboring either A B genome, were tested. Of all genomic DNA probe combinations assayed, A. duranensis (A genome) ipaensis (B appeared...

The legume Arachis hypogaea , commonly known as peanut or groundnut, is a very important food crop throughout the tropics and sub-tropics. genus endemic to South America being mostly associated with savannah-like Cerrado. All species in are unusual among legumes that they produce their fruit below ground. This profoundly influences biology natural distributions. occur diverse habitats including grasslands, open patches of forest even temporarily flooded areas. Based on number criteria,...
Most agriculturally important legumes fall within two sub-clades of the Papilionoid legumes: Phaseoloids and Galegoids, which diverged about 50 Mya. The are mostly tropical include crops such as common bean soybean. Galegoids temperate clover, fava model Lotus Medicago (both with substantially sequenced genomes). In contrast, peanut (Arachis hypogaea) falls in Dalbergioid clade is more basal its divergence Papilionoids. aim this work was to integrate genetic map Arachis improve our...
Worldwide, diseases are important reducers of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) yield. Sources resistance against many available in cultivated genotypes, although often not farmer preferred varieties. Wild species generally harbor greater levels and even apparent immunity, the linkage agronomically un-adapted wild alleles with disease genes is inevitable. Marker-assisted selection has potential to facilitate combination both loci adapted alleles. However, there an almost complete lack knowledge...
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea; 2n = 4x 40) is a nutritious food and good source of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats. Expansion genetic genomic resources for enhancement cultivated peanut has gained momentum from the sequenced genomes diploid ancestors peanut. To facilitate high-throughput genotyping Arachis species, 20 genotypes were re-sequenced genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected to develop large-scale SNP array. For flexibility in applications, SNPs polymorphic between...
The complex, tetraploid genome structure of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) has obstructed advances in genetics and genomics the species. aim this study is to understand Arachis by developing a high-density integrated consensus map. Three recombinant inbred line populations derived from crosses between A diploid species, duranensis stenosperma; B ipaënsis magna; AB tetraploids, A. hypogaea an artificial amphidiploid (A. × duranensis)4×, were used construct genetic linkage maps: 10 groups (LGs) 544...
Abstract Background Polyploidy can result in genetic bottlenecks, especially for species of monophyletic origin. Cultivated peanut is an allotetraploid harbouring limited diversity, likely resulting from the combined effects its single origin and domestication. Peanut wild relatives represent important source novel alleles that could be used to broaden basis cultigen. Using advanced backcross population developed with a synthetic amphidiploid as donor alleles, under two water regimes, we...
