Orange, white and variegated flowers all on the same plant!
Hybrids between wild species of peanut are unstable in their genetics - this one is a nice example!

An amazing diversity of peanuts are cultivated by the people of Guarujá village, Xingu Indigenous Park, Brazil. The 'Instituto Socioambiental' has just published a book on them - Wonderful!

Great to show off the Wild Peanut Lab plots at the UGA Midville field day. Fantastic organization from farm manager Anthony Black and team!!!
It was hotter then two rats wrestling in a woolen sock though!!!

Wild Peanut Lab field trials at UGA Midville. Small genetic contributions from wild species confer strong disease resistances!

Many wild peanuts remain uncollected
Fortunately Guillermo Seijo, extraordinary botanist and my great friend, keeps working through adversity!
Here he describes a new species- Arachis inflata. Its pods have air-sacs facilitating dispersal by water!

GA‐BatSten1 and GA‐MagSten1, derived from peanut wild relatives, with superior resistance to leaf spots, rust, and root‐knot nematode are being used in US breeding programs for the production of resistant cultivars doi.org/10.1002/plr2.20133 #OpenAccess @UGA_CollegeofAg

Three thousand peanut plots, planted by hand @UGA Midville, on the hottest day of the year so far!
Seeds have small genetic contributions from wild peanut species, bringing in new strong resistances to leaf spots, rust fungi, white mold, virus and nematodes

@FtFPeanutLab was awarded a NIFA grant for peanut breeding for drought, leaf spot and oil.

Although not found in the United States, peanut smut is a disease found on the peanut and is caused by a fungus which replaces the peanut with spores. In Argentina, yield losses can be up to 50%.

Bringing wild species diversity to peanut breeding in Goias, Brazil. Increasing variability in traits and genome structure! Excellent selections made incorporating very surprisingly high proportions of wild genetics!
Congratulations Taís and team!
