... A transfer of genes from closely related species can be useful to improve commercial crop cultivars. The objectives of this study were to evaluate three cycles of selection for yield and to determine the potential of future progress of selection in a peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) (2n = 40) ✕ A. cardenasii Krap. et Greg. nom. nud. (Iₙ = 20) population. Resistance to late leafspot [Cercosporidium per ...
... The potential for the development of large-seeded, high-yielding cultivars in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) with improved resistance to early leafspot (Cercospora arachidicola Hori) was determined in four crosses. A large-seeded, high-yielding cultivar (✕NC 6✕) was crossed to four small-seeded, low-yielding genotypes (PI 109839, PI 270806, PI 269685, and ‘Kanyoma’) with reported resistance to early ...
... Stilbene synthase is an inducible enzyme occurring in a small number of plants. The enzyme is amenable to analysis and biochemical studies only after the cells are subjected to induction. Cell suspension cultures of peanut react very selectively if elicited with biotic inducers. Just as intact peanut plants produce stilbene phytoalexins when attacked by fungi so also do sterile cultured cells when ...
... Leafspot epidemics caused by Cercospora arachidicola Hori (CA) and Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. & Curt.) Deighton (CP) cur every year on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in the southeastern USA and can reduce yields even in fungicide-treated fields. In this study, leafspot epidemic rates and leaf area dynamics were compared for the widely grown but susceptible cultivar Florunner and three genotype ...
... Genetic resistance in peanut (Arachis Hypogaea L.) to foliar diseases caused by Cercospora arachidicola Hori (CA) and Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. & Curt.) Deighton (CP) has usually been associated with low yields and late maturity. Some recently developed genotypes have partial resistance to CP and good yield potential. This study was conducted to understand growth and partitioning characteri ...
... Leafspot diseases, caused by Cercospora arachidicola S. Hori (early leafspot) and Cercosporidium personatum (Berk, and Curt.) Deighton (late leafspot), are worldwide production problems on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The extensive use of fungicides to control these diseases on susceptible cultivars is costly to growers. Developing leafspot resistant cultivars is a primary objective in many breed ...
... Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes have been developed with varying levels of early and late leafspot [Cercospora arachidicola Hori and Cercosporidium personatum (Berk, and Curt.) Deighton] resistance. An understanding of the changes that occur during the growing season among resistance parameters and in vegetative and pod development will be beneficial to crop scientists. In this study, 16 ge ...
... The genetic nature of resistance to early (Cercospora arachidicola Hod) and late [Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. & Curt.) Deighton] leafspot of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is quantitative, making selection for resistance difficult in segregating populations. In many areas of peanut production, without fungicide application one or both diseases may significantly reduce yields. A study was conduc ...
... Little is known about the consistency of the resistance reaction of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes to late leafspot (Mycosphaerella berkeleyi Jenk.) in varied environments. This study was conducted to determine resistance reactions of peanut genotypes in two disparate environments. Four peanut lines with known levels of resistance to late leafspot in Florida were used to create 12 cross co ...
