Drought stress has been the major constraint on peanut yield and quality, and an understanding of the function of long non-coding (lncRNAs) in the peanut drought stress response is still in its infancy. In this study, two peanut varieties with contrasting drought tolerance were used to explore the functions of lncRNAs in the peanut drought response, and the results showed that the drought-tolerant variety presented greater antioxidant enzyme activity, osmotic adjustment ability, and photosynthesis under drought conditions. There were 4329 lncRNAs identified in the two varieties, of which 535 and 663 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in NH5 and FH18, respectively. The cis targets of the differentially expressed lncRNAs were putatively involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis and other basic metabolic processes. A total of 673 competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) pairs were selected specifically in NH5, and the associated ceRNA network revealed six lncRNAs, MSTRG.70535.2, MSTRG.86570.2, MSTRG.86570.1, MSTRG.100618.1, MSTRG.81214.2, and MSTRG.30931.1were considered as hub nodes. They were speculated to contribute to enhancing peanut drought tolerance, such as regulating transcription and plant growth processes, thereby improving the drought stress response. In this study, lncRNAs and mRNAs interaction networks were constructed to aid a comprehensive understanding of the peanut drought stress response and form a basis for future research.

Subtilases (SBTs), known as serine proteases or phytoproteases in plants, are crucial enzymes involved in plant development, growth, and signaling pathways. Despite their recognized importance in other plant species, information regarding their functional roles in cultivated peanut ( L.) remains sparse.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination (AC) increases as the severity of drought stress increases in peanuts. Identifying drought-tolerant (DT) genotypes with resistance to colonization and/or infection may aid in developing peanuts resistant to aflatoxin contamination in the semi-arid tropics. The goal of this study is to identify DT genotypes with seed coat biochemical resistance to infestation and aflatoxin contamination.

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses that significantly impact plant growth and development. Advancements in molecular biology and sequencing technologies have elevated WRKY TF studies from merely determining expression patterns and functional characterization to uncovering molecular regulatory networks. Numerous WRKY TFs regulate drought tolerance in plants through various regulatory networks.

Drought is the one primary issue limiting peanut growth and productivity. The study aimed to investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), rhizobium (Rhi), and their combinations on phenolic content, proline content, growth, and yield of peanut under different soil water regimes. The pot experiments were carried out for two growing seasons under greenhouse conditions and designed based on a 2×3 factorial in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications.
