Abstract
THE previous papcrs have dernonstratcd that extensive variation in WIJE cxists among groundnut cultivars. 'The difficulty in accurately measuring WUE in glasshouse and field situations, however, mcans it is virtually impossible to include such a trair into largc-scale breeding programs. Thc pioneering work by Professor G. Farquhar and his colleagues (Farcluhar et al. 1982) which showed that WUE and isotopic discriniination against lit during photosynthcsis (A) were corrclatcd, raised the possibility of using A as a rapid 2nd non-destructive surrogate tiieasurc for sclcction of high WUE in Iargc-scale breeding programs.
