N2  - Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a
multi-purpose legume serving millions of farmers and
their value chain actors globally. Use of old poorperforming
cultivars contributes to low yields (\1
t/ha) of groundnut in sub-Saharan Africa including
Tanzania. The objectives of this study were to
determine the extent of genetic variation among
diverse groundnut collections using phenotypic traits
and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to select
distinct and complementary genotypes for breeding
N1  - The study was financially supported by
the Tropical Legumes III Project funded by the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation (BMGF) through the International Crop
Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Grant
ID OPP1114827. We are grateful to Ms Anu Chitikineni from
the Centre of Excellence in Genomics and Systems Biology at
ICRISAT-India for laboratory analysis. Thanks are due to the
Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture and the
Government of Tanzania for granting a study leave to the first
author. Thanks to Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute-
Naliendele and African Centre for Crop Improvement at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, for research
support.
