Location: Crop Genetics and Breeding Research
Project Number: 6048-21000-031-020-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jul 28, 2025
End Date: Jun 30, 2029
Objective:
1. To deploy a state-of-art genotyping method broadly to US public peanut breeders for use in cultivar development.
2. Develop drought tolerant genotypes using newly discovered genomic markers linked to yield protection under drought.
Approach:
Peanut breeding programs will provide DNA samples to Hudson Alpha. Hudson Alpha
will provide genetic analysis of these samples that the breeding program can use to accelerate cultivar development efforts.
