Developing the role of legumes in West Africa under climate change.

TL;DR: A greater use of resilient alternative crops especially underutilized legumes particularly Bambara groundnut, African yam bean, winged bean and Kersting's groundnut are used to develop climate-resilient cultivars for sub-Saharan Africa.

High-density SNP map facilitates fine mapping of QTLs and candidate genes discovery for Aspergillus flavus resistance in peanut (Arachis hypogaea)

TL;DR: Two novel resistant QTLs mapped and candidate genes identified for Aspergillus flavus resistance in cultivated peanut using SLAF-seq and microarray analysis, to facilitate marker development and validation of genes for deployment in the molecular breeding programs against A. flavus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Identified Gene Clusters and Candidate Genes for Oil Content in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

TL;DR: Significant insertion/deletion markers associated with seed oil content across five environments are identified and this locus is important for understanding the genetic control of peanut oil content and may be useful for marker-assisted selection in peanut breeding programs.

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species

TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
