“…For these reasons, a series of studies have been conducted to understand the taxonomic and genetic relationships among Arachis species, with emphasis on the section Arachis . These studies have used phenotypic data, cytogenetic analysis, and biochemical markers, such as isozymes and other proteins, and DNA markers such as RFLPs, RAPDs, AFLPs, microsatellites (short sequence repeats, SSRs), indels, and SNPs (Kochert et al, 1991, 1996; Lu and Pickersgill, 1993; Fernández and Krapovickas, 1994; Stalker et al, 1994, 1995; Hilu and Stalker, 1995; Jung et al, 2003; Moretzsohn et al, 2004; Nóbile et al, 2004; Peanut Crop Germplasm Committee, 2004; Seijo et al, 2004, 2007; Milla et al, 2005; Tallury et al, 2005; Bravo et al, 2006; Fávero et al 2006; Angelici et al, 2008; Robledo and Seijo, 2008, 2010; Lavia et al, 2009; Robledo et al, 2009; Bechara et al, 2010; Friend et al, 2010; Koppolu et al, 2010; Grabiele et al, 2012; Pandey et al 2012; Moretzsohn et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2016; Vishwakarma et al, 2017; Saritha et al, 2018; Zheng et al, 2018; Custodio et al, 2023; Ortiz et al, 2023). These studies were important but were limited to a small number of markers or few species, and only one or very few accessions representing each species.…”
