Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) suffers significant yield and seed quality losses due to preharvest sprouting. In order to identify associated genes and markers we used whole genome resequencing (WGRS) and generated two season of replicated phenotyping data on fresh seed dormancy (FSD) in minicore collection of ICRISAT (184 genotypes). The analysis revealed considerable phenotypic variability in dormancy durations, with days to 50% germination (DFG) ranging from 1 to 30 days. Statistical evaluations indicated highly significant differences in FSD among the accessions, with heritability estimates around 90%, suggesting strong genetic control over this trait. Using genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have identified 27 MTAs for individual seasons and 12 MTAs for pooled seasonal data. Candidate genes linked to these associations encoded proteins from the Cytochrome P450 superfamily, protein kinase superfamily, WRKY family transcription factors, and MYB transcription factors involved in the abscisic acid (ABA) pathway. Additionally, F-box interaction domain proteins, ATP-binding ABC transporters, and GATA-type zinc finger transcription factors associated with the gibberellic acid (GA) pathway were also identified. The findings underscored the importance of the ABA-GA balance in regulating seed dormancy. We have developed and validated eight markers for tracking FSD in breeding programme. These results suggest that integrating favourable dormant alleles into breeding programs could lead to the development of high-yielding cultivars with a dormancy period of 2-3 weeks. This strategy could help reduce yield losses caused by pre-harvest sprouting due to early rainfall and advance breeding efforts aimed at enhancing seed dormancy traits in groundnut.
