Description Legumes rank third in world crop production in which the major
constraint to crop productivity is attributed to biotic and abiotic
stress. Peanut, also knows as groundnut (arachis hypogaea L.) is
a major oilseed crop in the world, both for oil and as a protein
source. Host plant resistance provides the most effective and
economic option to manage stress tolerance in peanut which is also
time consuming involving expensive agronomic practices. However
, for many biotice and abiotic stresses, effective resistance gene(s)
in cultivated peanut have not been identified. Success in breeding
for better adapted varieties to biotic/abiotic stresses depend upon
the combined efforts of various research domains like plant and
cell physiology, molecular biology, genetics and breeding.
Moreover, availability of known genotypes with natural resistance
to stresses is a prerequisite for the successful breeding program.
With a few exceptions, crop improvement in peanut programs through
conventional breeding has received little progress.
