In a world where food security and sustainable agriculture face unprecedented challenges, the cultivated peanut emerges as an important food crop. Representing an essential quality oil and food legume crop grown across over 100 countries, peanuts provide vital nutrition and economic stability. Peanut Genomics and Biotechnology: Status and Prospects for Sustainability delves into the fascinating journey of peanuts, from their evolutionary origins as a natural tetraploid hybrid to their critical roles in addressing global food and oil demands amidst changing climates.

Advances in peanut genomics and biotechnology have transformed the possibilities for sustainable production. This book is a comprehensive guide to these breakthroughs, offering insights into peanut genome sequencing, breeding programs, and the innovative biotechnological tools that are driving progress. From decoding the complexities of the peanut genome to addressing abiotic and biotic stresses, this resource provides actionable solutions to develop resilient cultivars with superior yields and nutritional content.

Peanut Genomics and Biotechnology: Status and Prospects for Sustainability is useful to students, researchers, and practitioners, bringing together knowledge on genome editing technologies, omics, and bioinformatics applications. By providing a single, consolidated source of systemic information, it empowers scientists and agricultural professionals to revolutionize peanut breeding programs and contribute to sustainable agriculture.
