Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pod size is a key agronomic trait in peanut (Arachis hypogaea) that underwent strong selection during domestication. In a previous study, we fine-mapped a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for pod and seed size to a 168.37 kb region on chromosome A07. Here, we integrated structural variation analysis, gene sequence comparison, and transcriptomic profiling to refine candidate genes and uncover molecular...
