Groundnut is one of the most important cash crops in our country. It is a low- priced commodity but a valuable source of all the nutrients. Groundnut is the sixth most important oilseed crop in the world. It contains 48-50% of oil and 26-28% of protein and is a rich source of dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. The production of groundnut is concentrated in Asia and Africa with 56% and 40% of the global area and 68% and 25% of the global production, respectively

Gene–environment interaction is when two different genotypes respond to environmental variation in different ways. Stability refers to the performance with respective to environmental factors overtime within given location. Selection for stability is not possible until a biometrical model with suitable parameters is available to provide criteria necessary to rank varieties / breeds for stability.

Breeding for yield potential and stress adaptation in riceAshish Tiwari
With resources such as land being limited, increasing yield potential holds an important place for feeding the growing population. Stress is one of the main reasons for hindering the full flourish potential of any crop. Thus, breeding for increasing yield potential as well as stress adaptability goes hand in hand. Various conventional as well as advanced breeding methods along with the understanding of crop physiology can help us achieve the goal

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

9. Groundnut an unpredictable Crop
• Pods are borne below ground positively geotropic we cannot predict its
performance before harvest as in the case of other crops. Further Ground
nut is highly influenced by environment.
• If there is no favourable environment yield alone will not be affected but
also the quality characters.
• Less boron means low shelling % and more of immature seeds
• moisture stress leads to lower yield as well as reduction in well developed
kernels.
• Oil percentage is also influenced by environment.
• Excess moisture leads to more vegetative growth and reduction in yield.
Compared to any other crop here. G x E interaction is more pronounced.
• Besides abiotic stress, biotic stress also play a major role rust and leaf spot
in diseases, red hairy caterpillar and leaf minor in pests cause major havoc.
• Seed multiplication ratio is 1:5. This is also one of the bottlenecks in the
spread of improved varieties.

23. Aflatoxin contamination
Aflatoxin is a metabolite of the fungi of the Aspergillus
species
Aspergillus grows on the outer surface of the groundnut
pod and spreads inwards reaching the inside of the kernel
Aflatoxin contamination discolors the kernels
Damaged kernels are more likely to become contaminated –
harvest and post harvest handling and insect damage
24. Breeding Strategies for Aflatoxin Resistance
1. Resistance is effective only when the seed coat remains
intact.
2. The drought tolerance and resistance to damage of pods by
insect can reduce the extent of aflatoxin contamination.
3. New molecular techniques to develop resistance to
aflatoxigenic fungi/aflatoxin should be developed for
groundnut.
4. Use of wild species of Arachis for disease resistance.
5. The high level of resistance or immunity to aflatoxin must
be transferred to cultivated groundnut (Stalker and Moss,
1987).

28. Limitations of Aflatoxin Resistance Breeding
1. Complexity of nature of resistance.
2. Non-availability of any genotypes in which all the seeds
can be free from infection of the aflatoxin producing fungi.
3. No method is available for selection in segregating
generations.
4. There appears to be different genes in conferring resistance
to seed colonization at preharvest seed infection, and post-
harvest aflatoxin production. (Utomo et al., 1990).
5. When dealing specifically with resistance to natural seed
infection in the field, resistance mechanisms may operate at
the pod surface, within the shell, at the seed surface and
within the testa/cotyledons. This makes it difficult for breeders
to specify the particular resistance traits to which he aim.

30. HIGH OLEIC GROUNDNUT VARIETIES
FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY
• an important quality parameter, which
determines the flavor, stability, shelf-life, and
nutritional quality of groundnut and groundnut
products.
• Oxidative rancidity is common in oils with
high levels of polyunsaturated fatty
• High oleic groundnut varieties have a mutated
form of the fatty acid dehydrogenase(FAD)
gene.
31. Due to the allotetraploid nature of groundnut there are two
homeologous gene sequences (FAD2A and FAD2B)
These genes believed to originate from the two progenitor species
genomes—Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis
Mutations in either one of these genes leads to small increase in
oleic acid content of by over 60% (Nawade et al.,2016).
However, the presence of both the mutant alleles of FAD2A and
FAD2B genes is essential for achieving >75% oleic acid (Pandey et
al., 2014)
which have clearly been observed among introgression line
developed using allele-specific markers(Janila et al., 2016).
32. High Oleic Varieties Developed by MABC and MAS
Approaches can be Profitable to Farmers and Beneficial to
Consumers
Same fatty acid profile as olive oil - even better as
higher in Oleic Acid (the good acid!) and lower in
Linoleic Acid (the bad acid!)
Lower sugar and sucrose content versus regular
peanuts

36. EXPLOITING THE DIPLOID AND
TETRAPLOID GROUNDNUT GENOME
SEQUENCES FOR CROP IMPROVEMENT
• Availability of reference genome and high density genotyping
assay are the most important milestones for understanding
genome architecture, trait mapping, gene discovery, and
molecular breeding.
• reference genomes of diploid progenitors have been used for
comparative genomics, structural and functional genomics,
trait mapping, gene and marker discovery.
• ICRISAT has completed sequencing of Groundnut Reference
Set which is a global diversity panel and further comparative
structural genomics and association mapping is in progress.
42. Conclusion
Conventional breeding has contributed to
improvement of agronomic, quality and stress
tolerance traits in groundnut however there is
immense scope to improve breeding efficiency
(time and resources), accuracy, and enhancing
genetic gain with use of genomic tools.
Technological advances in genetic engineering
provide an alternative to overcome the
problem of aflatoxin contamination.
43. Future Thrusts
1. The search for better sources of quality traits in cultivated
and wild Arachis germplasm need more vigorously.
2. Stability in quality traits and realization / maintence of high
quality will be the main priority concerns for groundnut
breeders.
3. Groundnut cultivars need to be developed that are resistant
to invasion by aflatoxigenic moulds and subsequent aflatoxin
production.
4. Exploring the possibilities of the development of hybrids for
quality traits in groundnut
