Description
U Nikhil Sagar leads a 2026 genome study aimed at breeding more nutritious groundnuts, also called peanuts. Kernels were measured for iron, zinc, and protein across seasons in a diverse mini-core collection, and whole genomes were scanned for DNA markers linked to those traits. Wide variation appeared for all three nutrients, giving breeders useful raw material.
Fifteen marker links were found in pooled data, with more in single-season analyses, pointing to dozens of candidate genes. Several candidates govern iron and zinc balance, while others relate to protein control. Accessions carrying favorable gene versions clustered in certain groundnut types. Three practical DNA markers were validated, offering tools to select nutrient-rich lines in future breeding programs.
