Variability among advanced gamma‐irradiation induced large‐seeded mutant breeding lines in the ‘Georgia Browne’ peanut cultivar
TLDR
The results obtained demonstrate the beneficial use of mutation breeding for inducing and developing variable and desirable advanced mutant breeding lines within peanut cultivars.Abstract:
The objective of this study was to compare the variability among advanced large-seeded 'Georgia Browne' mutant breeding lines induced by gamma-irradiation. Seeds of the small-seeded, high-yielding, disease-resistant peanut cultivar 'Georgia Browne' were exposed to a 200 Gy dose of gamma-radiation. Several advanced (M(6:7)-M(6:9)) 'Georgia Browne' mutant breeding lines were developed and evaluated at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Station over three consecutive years 1997-99 for disease incidence, pod yield, total sound mature kernels (TSMK) grade, pod weight, seed weight and seed size distribution. Field performance tests showed significant differences among the advanced large-seeded mutant breeding lines compared with 'Georgia Browne' for each of these variables. The results obtained demonstrate the beneficial use of mutation breeding for inducing and developing variable and desirable advanced mutant breeding lines within peanut cultivars.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors treated two widely cultivated peanut genotypes, Huayu 22 and Yueyou 45, with different concentrations of the mutagen ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS) for different durations.
Induction of genetic variability for fatty acid composition in a large-seeded groundnut variety through induced mutagenesis
TL;DR: Oils with high oleic acid to linoleic acid (O/L) ratio are less prone to oxidation and off-flavors and extend shelf life by delaying the development of rancidity.

A Non-Destructive Method for Determining Peanut Pod Maturity
TL;DR: A method of classification based on color and morphological differences of the mesocarp is described for determining the developmental stages of fresh peanut [Arachis hypogaea (L) ‘Flo-runner’] pods Developmental stages are designated as Classes 1-7 with each subsequently numbered class representing progressively greater degrees of maturity.

Identification of Resistance to Rhizoctonia Limb Rot in a Core Collection of Peanut Germ Plasm
TL;DR: There was not a significant correlation between resistance to limb rot in the field and the severity of hypocotyl infections in growth chambers, indicating that resistance to hypocOTyl infections is not a good indicator of resistance to Rhizoctonia limb rot.

TL;DR: Comparisons among the cultivars in incidence of spotted wilt could not be attributed to differences in thrips population, and numbers of tobacco thrips, western flower thrips or larvae of undifferentiated Frankliniella spp.
