Background Polyploidy can result in genetic bottlenecks, especially for species of monophyletic
origin. Cultivated peanut is an allotetraploid harbouring limited genetic diversity, likely …

Background Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is widely used as a food and cash crop around
the world. It is considered to be an allotetraploid (2n = 4x = 40) originated from a single …

The complex, tetraploid genome structure of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) has obstructed
advances in genetics and genomics in the species. The aim of this study is to understand the …

Background Sesame is an important oilseed crop mainly grown in inclement areas with high
temperatures and frequent drought. Thus, drought constitutes one of the major constraints …

Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are powerful QTL mapping populations
that have been used to elucidate the molecular basis of interesting traits of wild species. …

Pearl millet plays a major role in food security in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India.
However, it lags behind the other cereal crops in terms of genetic improvement. The recent …

Only a few genetic maps based on recombinant inbred line (RIL) and backcross (BC)
populations have been developed for tetraploid groundnut. The marker density, however, is not …

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oilseed crops widely grown in Africa and
Asia for its high-quality nutritional seeds. It is well adapted to harsh environments and …

Unlike most of the important food crops, sesame can survive drought but severe and repeated
drought episodes, especially occurring during the reproductive stage, significantly curtail …

• Premise of the study: Discrepancies in terms of genotyping data are frequently observed
when comparing simple sequence repeat (SSR) data sets across genotyping technologies …
