TL;DR: High-quality genome sequence of cultivated peanut provides insights into genome evolution and the genetic mechanisms underlying seed size and leaf resistance in peanut, providing a cornerstone for functional genomics and peanut improvement.

TL;DR: It is desirable to isolate and characterize more DNA markers in cultivated peanut for more productive genomic studies, such as genetic mapping, marker-assisted selection, and gene discovery, and the development of microsatellite markers holds a promise.

TL;DR: The construction of the first genetic map for cultivated groundnut is reported and its utility for molecular mapping of QTLs controlling drought tolerance related traits as well as establishing relationships with diploid AA genome of groundnut and model legume genome species is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The collaborative efforts of several research groups under the umbrella of PGI are making significant progress in improving molecular tools in pigeonpea and should significantly benefit pigeon pea genetics and breeding.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that both AFLP and DAF approaches can be employed to generate DNA markers in peanut and thus have potential in the marker-assisted genetic improvement and germplasm evaluation of this economically important crop.
