Specialty
Peanut Genetics
Goals of the program are, in collaboration with peanut breeding programs in College Station and Stephenville, to:
- release new cultivars for Texas growers, incorporating: high yield; improved edible seed quality -early maturity, high oleic oil; resistance to water deficit, heat, and salt stress; resistance to disease and pests, especially leafspot, nematodes, and Sclerotinia blight
- Participate in the International Peanut Genome Initiative, and use genomics technology in cultivar development
- Participate in international collaborations with scientists, especially in Ghana and Burkina Faso through a Peanut and Mycotoxin Innovation Lab/ USAID project
