Abstract

The domesticated groundnut is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid, meaning that it has two sets of chromosomes from two different species, thought to be A. duranensis and A. ipaensis.It is likely that these species combine in the wild to form the tetraploid species . A. monticola, and it is presumed that domesticated groundnut originated from this species. The process of domestication is a reason for the narrow genetic base of the groundnut. Due to which it is said to have low levels of resistance which further makes it susceptible to various diseases. ...................
