A Proof-of-Principle Study of Non-invasive Identification of Peanut Genotypes and Nematode Resistance Using Raman Spectroscopy.

Identification of peanut cultivars for distinct phenotypic or genotypic traits whether using visual characterization or laboratory analysis requires substantial expertise, time, and resources. A less subjective and more precise method is needed for identification of peanut germplasm throughout the value chain. In this proof-of-principle study, the accuracy of Raman spectroscopy (RS), a non-invasive, non-destructive technique, in peanut phenotyping and identification is explored.

Optimization of Protoplast Isolation and Transformation for a Pilot Study of Genome Editing in Peanut by Targeting the Allergen Gene .

The cultivated peanut ( L.) is a legume consumed worldwide in the form of oil, nuts, peanut butter, and candy. Improving peanut production and nutrition will require new technologies to enable novel trait development.
