Summary: Production of phosphorus efficient genotypes in groundnut can have positive impacts on the environment and reduce pollution. Identifying efficient P-responding genotypes is crucial for sustaining in P-deficient soils. Pot and lysimeter experiments revealed genotypes that performed best under both P-sufficient and deficient conditions for various traits. Based on P-efficiency indices and surrogate traits of P-uptake, genotypes efficient in response to P were determined.

Summary: This study investigated the combining ability effects and gene action controlling rust resistance in groundnut genotypes through hybridization. The results indicated significant variations in rust resistance, yield, and related traits among the tested genotypes, with both additive and non-additive gene effects influencing trait inheritance. Genotypes with desirable GCA or SCA effects were selected for further breeding.

Summary: In this study, the co-inoculation of Rhizobium pusense S6R2 and Pantoea dispersa YBB19B in groundnut was found to alleviate salt stress and promote plant growth and yield. These strains exhibited multiple plant growth-promoting traits under salt stress conditions. The highest number of nodules was obtained when Rhizobium pusense S6R2 and Bacillus tequilensis NBB13 were co-inoculated in saline soil.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of foliar spray with nanoscale silica on the growth and yield of groundnut. The results showed that the foliar application of nanoscale silica significantly enhanced the growth and yield of groundnut. Confocal microscopy revealed that nanoscale silica could enter the plant through stomata and be transported to vascular bundles via apoplastic movement. This study demonstrated for the first time that nanoscale silica can modulate multiple complex traits in groundnut through an eco-friendly and sustainable approach.

Summary: Foliar applications of nanoscale silica significantly enhance the growth and yield of groundnut by increasing various traits such as plant height, branch number, and photosynthetic rate. Nanosilica enters the plant through stomata and is transported to vascular bundles via apoplastic movement. The use of N-SiO2 as a fertilizer provides an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to improve crop production.

Summary: This study investigated the differential rankings of 36 groundnut genotypes under varying environmental conditions using various models to capture specific levels of phenotype. The significance of location main effect and the potential changes in genotypic rankings based on different phenotypic levels were highlighted. Furthermore, the study suggested assessing genotypic performance at various levels to arrive at a consensus decision.

Summary: A genome-wide association study was conducted to identify functional nucleotide polymorphisms or genic SNP markers for marker-assisted breeding in groundnut. A total of 30 important SNPs were detected, some of which encode disease resistance proteins, providing potential targets for breeding disease-resistant cultivars.

Summary: This study examined microbial pathogens contaminating groundnuts after harvesting, revealing that samples from Bolgatanga were the most contaminated while Chiana had the least contamination. Several bacterial and fungal genera were isolated as the main microbial pathogens contaminating the produce. Proper hygiene standards must be adopted during postharvest handling to avoid microbial contamination.

Summary: English Summary: This study evaluated the responses of bambara groundnut and groundnut to soil water deficit stress. The results showed that water deficit stress increased proline content and decreased stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and photosynthetic rate. The genotypes MNANJE and S19-3 exhibited the smallest decrease in most of the traits, indicating their drought resistance. The observed variations among landraces could be utilized to breed resilient varieties for cultivation in drought-prone areas, ultimately improving food security.

Summary: The study assessed contamination of groundnut with Aspergillus section Flavi fungi and aflatoxin under storage conditions in Uganda. Different cropping systems, storage, and climatic conditions influenced the composition of fungal communities and aflatoxin levels. Urgent management strategies are required for districts with extremely high aflatoxin levels in groundnut samples.

Summary: Groundnut or peanut is rich in protein and oil, with ALDH enzyme playing an important role in detoxification and attenuation of cellular toxicity in stress conditions. However, limited studies have been conducted on ALDH members in peanuts. A systematic analysis of 71 ALDH genes in peanuts revealed their tissue-specific expression and their involvement in response to abiotic stress.

Summary: The study revealed variations in groundnut cropping systems across regions in Burkina Faso, with gender playing a significant role in production. Women face challenges in accessing land and resources, and there is a yield gap between men and women. Improved varieties and technical assistance show a strong correlation, and production constraints are perceived differently between regions despite being similar.
