Genetic control of these traits has been reported to range in complexity from simple inheritance to the inclusion of multiple modifier genes. This study was conducted to determine the general combining ability (GCA) effects of 50 peanut genotypes on pod and seed size. Each genotype was used five times as a female parent and five times as a male parent in a partial diallel crossing program. F1 hybrids were grown and their pods were harvested for measurements of pod and seed size. The F2 generation was planted the following year and similar measurements were recorded using the single pod descent procedure. Individual F2 plants were harvested and pod and seed characteristics measured for segregation information within four crosses. General combining ability effects were not well correlated between generations (r=0.53-0.56) or with the same traits measured on pure-line parents (r=0.32-0.42). PI 298845, PI 314897, PI 325079, Jenkins Jumbo, and Fla 393-8-1-1-1-1-1-2 had consistently large positive GCA effects on pod and seed weight. F2 segregation patterns indicated that some crosses exhibit predominantly additive gene action while one cross (PI 270818 / PI 269111) showed dominance toward smaller pods. Transgressive segregation occurred for pod and seed size traits in four crosses. Substantial genetic variability for pod and seed size remains in the peanut germplasm collection.}, number={1}, journal={Peanut Science}, author={Anderson, W. F. and Fitzner, M. S. and Isleib, T.

Deighton] leafspot of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is quantitative, making selection for resistance difficult in segregating populations. In many areas of peanut production, without fungicide application one or both diseases may significantly reduce yields. A study was conducted to obtain heritability estimates, responses to selection, and relationship of resistance of two peanut populations for early and late leafspot resistance. Selection based on F2 family means in the F3 generation via defoliation, infection, and sporulation was performed for early and late leafspot in North Carolina and Georgia, respectively, within populations of PI 314817/[TG3/EC 76446 (292)] and (PI 314817/ICGS 4). Divergent selections for each disease were evaluated in the F4 generation at the same locations the following year for resistance by visual rating of infection and defoliation. Broad‐sense heritability estimates ranged from low to high (0.12–0.88) for components of resistance to each leaf‐spot disease. Narrow‐sense heritability estimates from parent‐offspring regression (0.18–0.74) and realized heritability (0.60–1.41) were significant for late leafspot resistance and early leafspot resistance in the PI 314817/[TG3/EC 76446 (292)] population. Results indicated that selection based family means would be successful. Selection of individual plants within families did not significantly improve genetic progress. Moderate to high correlations (0.41–0.86) existed between early and late leafspot disease components indicating possible genetic linkage or host‐plant physiology that conferred resistance to both diseases in one population.}, number={3}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={ANDERSON, WF and HOLBROOK, CC and WYNNE, JC}, year={1991}, pages={588–593} } @article{anderson_patanothai_wynne_gibbons_1990, title={Assessment of a diallel cross for multiple foliar pest resistance in peanut}, volume={45}, number={8-9}, journal={Oleagineux (Paris)}, author={Anderson, W.

Due to large environmental variation and genotype x environment interactions, it is often desirable to compare stability of lines over a range of environments. The objective of this study was to use various stability parameters to try and determine the stability of experimental breeding lines. Using data from regional advanced peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) breeding line yield trials conducted over 3 years and four locations in Virginia and North Carolina, the stability of peanut cultivars and breeding lines was compared. Stability variance was found to be highly correlated (0.91–1.00) with covariate adjusted stability variance. In many instances, the stability-variance parameters produced similar results to pairwise regressions and dissimilarity measures when compared with standard cultivars. However, the distance parameters and regressions provided more precise information on relative responses in varying environments of two advanced breeding lines being considered for release. This allowed for direct comparison to cultivars targetted for replacement. NC 18411 had equal mean yields and qualitative traits but better stability than breeding line NC 18423. Regression analysis indicated that NC 18423 performed best in good environments but worse than most other cultivars in poor environments. Means and stability of value per kilogram and value per hectare were highly correlated with percentage of sound mature kernels and yield (0.92–0.99), respectively. A comparison of means and stability parameters was effective in discerning superiority of peanut breeding lines for potential release and use by growers.}, number={1}, journal={Peanut Science}, author={Anderson, W.
