Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Kernel grade is a key market trait that significantly influences the market price of groundnut and is directly proportional to pod yield. A set of 574 multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) lines including parents and checks was assessed for kernel grade, yield, and component traits in a partially replicated (p-rep) design for two seasons (rainy and post-rainy; 2021-22). A genome-wide...
