Interpretive Summary: The development of new peanut cultivar is essential to improvements in a wide range of plant and seed factors. The cultivar reported here is an addition to the large-seeded, Virginia-type peanut cultivar. "Phillips" has improved pod characteristics important to the in-shell peanut market.

Technical Abstract: 'Phillips' is a large-seeded virginia-type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea) cultivar with a high percentage of bright fancy pods. The cultivar possesses alternate branching pattern intermediate runner growth habit, medium green foliage, large seeds with tan testa averaging 835 mg seed-1, approximately 34% jumbo pods and 45% fancy pods. Phillips is an F5-derived line selected from a cross between two early maturing NCSU breeding lines, N90014E used as the female and N91024 used as the male. Flavor attributes of roasted samples from three trials were evaluated by a trained sensory panel. Intensity of the roasted peanut attribute of flavor in Phillips was not different from that in NC 7, the flavor standard for the virginia market-type, but intensity of the sweet attribute was higher and that of the bitter attribute lower.
