“…MAS helps to develop ideal groundnut cultivar with inbuilt resistance and improved pod and kernel features (Mothilal 2012). Introgression of nematode resistance through an amphidiploid pathway into cultivated groundnut was successfully implemented using MAS and subsequently nematode resistant groundnut cultivar, NemaTAM was developed (Holbrook et al 2011).…”

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a multipurpose legume crop widely cultivated in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, yield levels of the crop has remained relatively low in SSA owing to a range of biotic, abiotic and socioeconomic constraints. A dedicated groundnut improvement programme integrating new tools and methodologies to breed varieties suitable for current and emerging agro-ecologies and market needs is essential for enhanced and sustainable groundnut production in SSA. The objective of this review is to highlight breeding progress, opportunities and challenges on groundnut improvement with regard to cultivar development and deployment in SSA in order to guide future improvement of the crop. The review analysed the role of new tools in breeding such as, high-throughput and automated phenotyping techniques, rapid generation advancement, single seed descent approach, marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, next-generation sequencing, genetic engineering and genome editing for accelerated breeding and cultivar development of groundnut.

“…In India, groundnut has been considered as one of the most important agricultural products, which occupies a central position in Indian agricultural economy and serves as a valuable source of nutrients. India has been one of the largest producers of oilseeds in the world, wherein an estimated 23·44 million hectares of land are being used for the cultivation of nine oilseed crops such as groundnut, safflower, sesame, sunflower, soybean, rapeseed, niger (inga seed), castor and linseed, with a total oil production of 25·14 million tons in the year 2004–2005 (Mothilal 2012; Stalker 2013). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the production statistics of crops, groundnut cultivation in the world is undertaken in 24·07 million hectares and of which 11·45 million hectares are from Asian countries alone with an annual production of 37·64 million tons.…”

Significance and Impact of the Study: An unusual white root rot disease was witnessed on the groundnut plant (Arachis hypogaea L.), and based on the morphological and molecular studies, the pathogenic fungus was identified as Marasmius palmivorus (Sharples). This is the first report of this species causing white root rot in the groundnut plant. Thus, this study provides an information about emerging new fungal disease in the groundnut plant, which will further help for early management and monitoring of the disease in the cultivars.
