Tikka disease of Groundnut is a fungal infection that damages groundnut crops, leading to significant yield losses and potentially dangerous threats to food security in several countries. While some varieties have shown resistance to the disease, its genetic basis has remained largely unknown. Now, researchers at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) have identified key genetic markers associated with resistance against Tikka … Continue reading Researchers Identify Genetic Markers for Tikka Disease Resistance in Groundnut
