This study, the first in a three-part series, lays the foundation for understanding the origin of the peanut crop (Arachis hypogaea). Its subsequent evolution is explored in the two papers that follow. The evidence that A. hypogaea originated from a single hybridization event between Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaënsis less than 10 000 years ago was already very strong. Here, we extend this evidence using...
