This book presents the current state of the art in peanut genomics,
focusing particularly on the latest genomic findings, tools and
strategies employed in genome sequencing, transcriptomes and
analysis, availability of public and private genomic resources, and
ways to maximize the use of this information in peanut breeding
programs. Further, it demonstrates how advances in plant genomics
can be used to improve crop breeding. The peanut or groundnut
(Arachis hypogaea L. Millsp) is a globally important grain legume
and oilseed crop, cultivated in over 100 countries and consumed in
the form of roasted seeds, oil and confectionary in nearly every
country on Earth. The peanut contributes towards achieving food and
nutritional security, in addition to financial security through
income generation; as such, it is also vital to the livelihood of
the poor in the developing world. There have been significant
advances in peanut research, especially in the last five years,
including sequencing the genome of both diploid progenitors, and
the availability of tremendous transcriptome resources, large-scale
genomic variations that can be used as genetic markers, genetic
populations (bi- and multiparent populations and germplasm sets),
marker-trait associations and molecular breeding products. The
immediate availability of the genome sequence for tetraploid
cultivated peanuts is the most essential genomic resource for
achieving a deeper understanding of peanut traits and their use in
breeding programs.
