The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an allotetraploid composed of A and B genomes. The phylogenetic relationship among the cultivated peanut, wild diploid, and tetraploid species in the section Arachis was studied based on sequence comparison of stearoyl-ACP desaturase and oleoyl-PC desaturase. The topology of the trees for both fatty acid desaturases displayed two clusters; one cluster with A genome diploid species and the other with B genome diploid species. The two homeologous genes obtained for each of the two fatty acid desaturases from the tetraploid species A. hypogaea and A. monticola were separated into the A and B genome clusters, respectively. The gene phylogenetic trees showed that A. hypogaea is more closely related to the diploid species A. duranensis and A. ipaensis than to the wild tetraploid species A. monticola, suggesting that A. monticola is not a progenitor of the cultivated peanut. In addition, for the stearoyl-ACP desaturase, the A. duranensis sequence was identical with one of the sequences of A. hypogaea and the A. ipaensis sequence was identical with the other. These results support the hypothesis that A. duranensis and A. ipaensis are the most likely diploid progenitors of the cultivated tetraploid A. hypogaea.

Imidacloprid, a key neonicotinoid insecticide for pest control, is widely used in various crops, including peanuts. This study aimed to fill research gaps by analysing the residue behaviour of imidacloprid in peanut fields treated with flowable concentrate for seed treatment (FS) formulations while assessing potential risks to human health and ecosystems. A validated analytical method, using QuEChERS separation and UPLC-MS/MS detection, reliably quantified imidacloprid residues in peanuts and soil.

Article Synopsis
- Peanuts, an important global oilseed crop, are nutritious but face challenges like pests, diseases, aflatoxins, and allergens, impacting both health and sustainability.
- Traditional breeding methods have limitations, prompting the use of modern techniques such as next-generation sequencing and genome editing to enhance peanut traits and productivity.
- Recent advancements offer the potential to create better peanut varieties, focusing on improving resistance to stress factors, nutritional content, and reducing harmful substances while optimizing transformation and editing methods.
