Transgenic Crops VI

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 61))

Abstract

Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a food crop grown in warm temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. The seeds are consumed either after minimal processing, such as roasting or boiling, or are used for peanut paste/butter, in confectionary items, or for oil extraction. The biology of fruit production is novel compared with other primary crops in that the fruit develop underground. This geocarpic development also requires novel solutions for pest and pathogen control, as well as harvesting. An alternative to pesticide use is the development of genetic or host-plant resistance, which can be accessed from within the Arachis gene pool through traditional breeding or outside the gene pool using genetic engineering. Cultivated peanut is tetraploid whereas the overwhelming majority of its wild relatives are diploid, complicating the transfer of traits across ploidy levels. The development and application of molecular markers and transformation technologies, both of which can facilitate crop improvement, are the subject of this review.
