Description Peanut, also known as groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oilseed crop in
the world. About 31 viruses representing 14 genera are reported to naturally
infe.ct peanut in different parts of the world, although only a few of these are of
economic importance. These include groundnutrosette disease in Africa, tomato
spotted wilt-disease in the United States, peanut bud necrosis disease in south
Asia, and peanut stripe virus disease in east and southeast Asia. Cucumber
mosaic virus disease in China and Argentina and peanut stem necrosis disease in
certain -pockets in southern India are also economically important. Host plant
resistance provides the most effective and economic option to manage virus
diseases. However, for many virus diseases, effective resistance gene(s) in
cultivated peanut have not been identified. With a few exceptions, the virus
resistance breeding work has received little attention in peanut improvement
programs. Transgenic resistance offers another option in virus resistance
breeding. This review focuses on the status of genetic resistance to various
economically important groundnut viruses and'use of transgenic-technology for
the improvement of virus resistance.
