Identified foliar fungal disease-resistant introgression lines with higher pod and haulm yield testing of Groundnut in MABC Post rainy 2013-14

Introgression lines (ILs) of groundnut with enhanced resistance to rust and late leaf spot (LLS) recorded increased pod and haulm yield testing. Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach was used to introgress a genomic region containing a major QTL that explains >80% of phenotypic variance (PV)
