The novel genes identified are going to enhance crop productivity and quality and thereby increase farmer incomes.вЂќ

While highlighting the importance of this discovery in the Indian context, Dr Trilochan Mohapatra, Director General, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) said, вЂњRich in protein and edible oil, groundnut is central to the financial and nutritional well-being of hundreds of millions of farmers and consumers across India, China, Africa and South America. The research expands the knowledge of understudied areas of plant biology and human impacts on plants and also offers millions of structural variations that can be used as genetic markers for the development of improved groundnut varieties through genomics-assisted breeding. Analysis of the complete DNA sequencing suggests that the groundnut lineage was affected by at least three sets of chromosomes since the origin of flowering plants or eudicots. This study presents the draft genome of the groundnut A-genome progenitor containing 50,324 protein-coding gene models.

вЂњThis study has not just provided the full genome sequence to help plant breeders across the globe develop more productive and more resilient groundnut varieties in a faster manner, but also provides us an insight to geocarpy, a reproductive process where the flowers grown on the stem go inside the soil and pod formations occur,вЂќ said Dr Rajeev Varshney, Co-Coordinator of Genome Sequencing Project and Research Program Director, Genetic Gains program, ICRISAT.Д¬ongratulating the team on this breakthrough, Dr David Bergvinson, Director General, ICRISAT said, вЂњThis will provide an efficient road map for sustainable and resilient groundnut production for improved livelihoods of smallholder farmers particularly in the marginal environments of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.вЂќ The findings have been published in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), USA, ( ). A team of 51 scientists from 9 institutes from China, India, USA and Australia, including ICRISAT, have decoded the complete DNA sequencing of the ancestor of the groundnut, the diploid A-genome ( Arachis duranensis).
