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 date: 2020-09 date_type: published publication: Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution (TSI) publisher: Springer id_number: doi:10.1007/s10722-020-01007-1 refereed: TRUE issn: 0925-9864 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10722-020-01007-1 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=10.1007%2Fs10722-020-01007-1&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Daudi, H and Shimelis, H and Mathew, I and Oteng‐Frimpong, R and Ojiewo, C and Varshney, R K (2020) Genetic diversity and population structure of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) accessions using phenotypic traits and SSR markers: implications for rust resistance breeding.
