Description Aflatoxins, carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by the Aspergillus fungi, pose a significant threat to groundnut, making them susceptible to infection and compromising their quality. Despite extensive breeding programs, the need for more durable resistance in groundnut germplasm remains a major challenge. Targeting susceptible genes favoring Aspergillus infection in groundnut could offer a promising strategy for achieving durable resistance. The glycine-rich RNA-binding protein (GR-RBP)-coding genes, known for their involvement in plant hypersensitivity and susceptibility to A. flavus, have been studied in model plants. However, there needs to be more understanding of the GR-RBP gene family in groundnut. In this study, twenty-three Arachis hypogaea GR-RBP (Ah.GR-RBP) genes were identified, and the chromosomal location, sub-cellular localization, and regulatory elements in the putative promoter region were analyzed. Expression analysis revealed that Ah.GR-RBP.1, Ah.GR-RBP.12, Ah.GR-RBP.3, and Ah.GR-RBP.15 showed higher expression in the susceptible genotype. This paper would help to provide knowledge on potential candidate target genes for precise breeding interventions for aflatoxin mitigation in groundnut.
