description: Sustainable groundnut production can be realised through development and adoption of high yielding cultivars possessing  durable rust resistance. Integrating conventional breeding with genomic tools in identifying candidate rust resistance genes,  and introgressing the genes into adapted elite germplasm, with the aid of molecular makers, could enhance breeding for  rust resistance. This review highlights breeding approaches for groundnut rust resistance, with emphasis on integrating  conventional breeding with marker-assisted selection. The life cycle, symptoms and epidemiology of the pathogen are also  discussed to understand the host-pathogen interaction and guide groundnut rust resistance breeding.
