In a world where food security and sustainable agriculture face unprecedented challenges, the cultivated peanut emerges as an important food crop. Representing an essential quality oil and food legume crop grown across over 100 countries, peanuts provide vital nutrition and economic stability. Peanut Genomics and Biotechnology: Status and Prospects for Sustainability delves into the fascinating journey of peanuts, from their evolutionary origins as a natural tetraploid hybrid to their critical roles in addressing global food and oil demands amidst changing climates.

Advances in peanut genomics and biotechnology have transformed the possibilities for sustainable production. This book is a comprehensive guide to these breakthroughs, offering insights into peanut genome sequencing, breeding programs, and the innovative biotechnological tools that are driving progress. From decoding the complexities of the peanut genome to addressing abiotic and biotic stresses, this resource provides actionable solutions to develop resilient cultivars with superior yields and nutritional content.

Peanut Genomics and Biotechnology: Status and Prospects for Sustainability is useful to students, researchers, and practitioners, bringing together knowledge on genome editing technologies, omics, and bioinformatics applications. By providing a single, consolidated source of systemic information, it empowers scientists and agricultural professionals to revolutionize peanut breeding programs and contribute to sustainable agriculture.

Professor Xingjun Wang is a senior scientist at the Institute of Crop Germplasm Resources, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SAAS), Jinan, China. He is the former director general of Biotechnology Research Center, SAAS. He is the Master and PhD student supervisor of Shandong University and Shandong Normal University. He is the vice chairman of the Shandong Genetics Society. He is an executive member of the Oil Crop Branch of the Crop Science Society of China and an executive member of the High Technology Branch of the China Association of Agricultural Science Society. He is a Taishan Scholar Expert and a Distinguished Expert of Shandong Province. He received his Ph.D. from the Life Science College of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and completed his postdoctoral research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Professor Wang has focused on peanut functional genomics, genomics, gene identification, DNA marker development, germplasm innovation, and molecular breeding since 2006 in SAAS. He is the principal investigator on more than 20 national and provincial projects, including the regular NSFC project and NSFCCGIAR project. He has published more than 180 papers in national and international journals, edited the book Studies on Peanut Biotechnology, and wrote chapters for several books. He has been awarded six prizes for Progress in Science and Technology from Shandong Province and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China. He won the Outstanding Contribution Award for peanut genomics studies. He has given talks at different national and international congresses and hosted the 11th International Conference of the Peanut Research Community on Advances in Arachis through Genomics and Biotechnology (AAGB), held in 2019 in Jinan, China.

Prof. Xinyou Zhang is a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), the president of Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (HAAS), and the chief scientist of China’s National Peanut Industry Technology System affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. He has been serving as a researcher specializing in the genetic improvement of peanut at HAAS for over 40 years, where he initiated a distant hybridization program and made great technological progress in deriving valuable germplasm lines integrating elite traits from wild Arachis species. The variety "Yuanza 9102," developed and released by his group, has become the most widely grown peanut variety developed through interspecific hybridization. He has also actively participated in organizing and implementing the International Peanut Genome Initiative, contributing to the completion of genome sequencing for peanut cultivars and their diploid ancestors. Prof. Xinyou Zhang is one of the leading scientists in peanut breeding in China. He has made significant contributions in variety improvement and breeding technology innovations. The "Yuhua" and "Yuanza" series of peanut varieties released by his group have been grown over a total area of over 10 million hectares, substantially facilitating the development of China’s peanut industry, assisting Chinese farmers in increasing their income, and ensuring a stable supply of edible vegetable oil in China.
