Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
This study used a recombinant inbred line mapping population (TAG 24 × ICGV 86031) to identify markers associated with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield and yield-related traits at two important locations in West Africa under well-watered and water stress conditions.
Evaluation of Multiple Stress Tolerant Groundnut Genotypes for Productivity and Nutritional Quality in Nigeria
This abstract assesses the results of an evaluation of 541 advanced breeding lines, along with local landraces and improved varieties. The evaluation assessed reactions to drought, rosette and foliar diseases.
Prevalence and distribution of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Mali, West Africa
This review analyzes the prevalence and distribution of aflatoxins in the groundnut value chain in Mali and suggests timely interventions that can help to minimize health-related hazards and exposure to aflatoxin contaminated food.
Post-Harvest Management of Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut
This review reports the extent of post-harvest aflatoxin contamination along the groundnut value chain in Mali and highlights different management tools for reducing losses.
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
By demonstrating that SSR-based markers are discriminatory in discerning variations between and among groundnut lines even where the level of variation was low, this study suggests that microsatellite-based markers represent a useful tool for dissecting genetic variations in cultivated crops, especially groundnut.
Tropical Legumes II: Final Report
Final report to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on the achievements of the Tropical Legumes II phase II project, which ran from 2011 to 2015. Note, some financial details have been redacted.
Evidence and Determinants of Gender Gaps in Legume Production: What Can We Learn from Existing TL-2 Data Set
A report on gender gaps in legume production in Malawi and Tanzania. The report analyzes panel data collected in 2008, 2010, and 2013 in Malawi, and 2008 and 2010 in Tanzania.
Response of some groundnut varieties to Alectra vogelii infestation in northern Nigeria
This paper presents the results of a field trial conducted in northern Nigeria in 2014 during the rainy season to evaluate the response of 11 local and improved groundnut genotypes to natural infestation of Alectra vogelii.
Drought tolerance mechanisms for response to pre- and post-flowering drought stress of groundnut in a dryland ecology
This poster presents the results of a study that investigated the mechanisms of drought tolerance of selected groundnut cultivars under pre- and post-flowering drought stress.
Groundnut rosette disease symptoms, types, distribution and management of the disease in Uganda
This study documents the findings of a nationwide survey in 2012 and 2013 covering 23 districts in Uganda. The surveys ascertained the predominant GRD symptom types, GRD incidences and severity, farmers’ knowledge and their GRD coping mechanisms, the current groundnut seed system and farming practices.
