"In Uganda, groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L) is the second most\r\nimportant legume after beans. Groundnuts is cultivated on\r\nnearly 260,000 ha, representing 24.6% of the total arable\r\nland. On-farm pod yields are low, averaging 800 kg/ha of dry\r\npods, compared to on-station potential yields of 3,000kg/ha.\r\nSales from current production could potentially generate $344\r\nmillion to the producers who are largely small-scale farmers.\r\nThe yield gaps are attributed to a combination of biotic, abiotic,\r\ncultural and political factors. Since the 1920s, research efforts\r\nhave released 24 varieties, the most recent commercial varieties\r\nbeing the Serenut 1-14 series. These varieties have overcome\r\nsome of the mentioned production constraints. However,\r\nvaried growing agroecologies, land tenure systems, diverse\r\nmarket preferences, and emerging stresses call for continuous\r\nresearch. Current research agenda includes breeding for high\r\noleic, leafminer resistance, confectionery, aflatoxin tolerance,\r\ndrought tolerance, early to medium maturing varieties, high\r\nyielding, and rosette disease resistant varieties. We have initiated\r\nMarker Assisted Selection for high oleic breeding and\r\nadopted BMS for Digitalization of data capture, management,\r\nanalyses and storage. Recently developed regeneration protocol\r\nwill aid in introgressing additional traits across taxa. The\r\nbimodal rainfall pattern and active hybridization programme\r\nincreases our breeding cycles. To date, the groundnut breeding\r\nprogram has an active breeding pipeline frequently releasing\r\nvarieties and lines which have already been shared with National\r\nPrograms across Africa, Haiti and the USA with many\r\nadditional National Programs making requests. We have strong\r\npartnerships in Research and Development among the African\r\nCountries, USAID, ICRISAT, and BMGF."^^ . "2017-02" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "C M"^^ .
