Genome-wide association study shows genetic factors impacting pod size in Arachis hypogaea, suggesting enhancements via molecular breeding.

The research aims to identify genetic factors that influence pod and seed size in Arachis hypogaea.
Conducted genome‐wide association study involving 390 peanut accessions from 15 regions
Analyzed associations between phenotypic traits and genetic markers
Utilized quantitative reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction to assess gene expression
Significant phenotypic variation in pod and seed traits was found
A pleiotropic hotspot on chromosome B06 associated with multiple traits
Higher expression of AhPDS1 linked to larger pod size was confirmed in qRT‐PCR

Liu et al. (2025) studied this question.
