Abstract

Peanut is a valuable oilseed legume grown throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Genomic advances have been limited in peanut due to the low levels of genetic diversity found in the cultivated gene pool. However, utilization of wild species and new genomic tools are now becoming commonplace among major peanut breeding programs. These tools should accelerate the development of improved cultivars in the near future. This chapter is intended to provide peanut geneticists up-to-date information regarding the genome and molecular breeding tools available for Arachis improvement. It is our hope that the peanut community will utilize this information to continue the progress in diversifying the peanut gene pool and addressing the needs of researchers worldwide.
