Description Globally, peanut is an important crop, providing both oil and protein,
and gene banks across the world have conserved a large collection
of peanut germplasm including wild Arachis species. The key to the
success in crop improvement depends on how effectively and effi ciently
the new genetic variation is introduced to broaden the genetic base
of cultigens. The genus Arachis harbors considerable diversity for
morpho-agronomic traits including resistance to abiotic and biotic
stresses. Impressive progress have been made towards developing
a large number of markers specific to peanut in addition to the
technological breakthrough in developing high-throughput genotyping
platforms for unlocking the genetic variation present in the germplasm
collections. Using core and mini core collections and genomic tools,
peanut researchers have identifi ed a number of diverse germplasm
possessing agronomically benefi cial traits that are now being used in
peanut breeding. Amphidiploids originating from distant wild Arachis
species crosses are expected to unravel the variation not earlier available
to peanut research community due to bottlenecks associated with
peanut domestication.
