Work has been underway for some time in mapping the peanut genome. Tyron Spearman has an update on those efforts.
Peanut Genome Initiative Published
The Peanut Foundation recently announced the Peanut Genome Initiative has been published. Tyron Spearman has the details.
Peanut Genome Sequenced with Unprecedented Accuracy
Improved pest resistance and drought tolerance are among potential benefits of an international effort in which Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and their collaborators have produced the clearest picture yet of the complex genomic history of the cultivated peanut. Scientists undertook this large project to better understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underpin the peanut plant’s growth and development, …
