N1  - The authors thank the International Crop Research
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) for financial
support of the study. Thanks are due to the Permanent
Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and the Government of
Tanzania, for giving study leave to the first author.
N2  - 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.
