Key message SSR-based QTL mapping provides useful information for map-based cloning
of major QTLs and can be used to improve the agronomic and quality traits in cultivated …

High-density genetic maps (HDGMs) are very useful for genomic studies and quantitative
trait loci (QTL) mapping. However, the low frequency of DNA polymorphisms in peanut has …

Background The construction of genetic linkage maps for cultivated peanut (Arachis
hypogaea L.) has and continues to be an important research goal to facilitate quantitative …

The genetic architecture determinants of yield traits in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) are
poorly understood. In the present study, an effort was made to map quantitative trait loci …

Molecular genetic maps of crop species can be used in a variety of ways in breeding and
genomic research such as identification and mapping of genes and quantitative trait loci …

Abstract Background Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an autogamous allotetraploid legume
(2n= 4x= 40) that is widely cultivated as a food and oil crop. More than 6,000 DNA markers …

Abstract Background Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), an important source of edible
oil and protein, is widely grown in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Genetic …

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an allotetraploid (AABB, 2 n= 4 x= 40), valued for
its edible oil and digestible protein. Seed size and weight are important agronomical traits …

Oil and protein content and fatty acid composition are quality traits in peanut. Elucidating the
genetic mechanisms underlying these traits may help researchers to obtain improved …

Background The cultivated peanut is an important oil and cash crop grown worldwide. To
meet the growing demand for peanut production each year, genetic studies and enhanced …
