Peanut pan-genome reveals a dwarfing gene that lifts yield 20% in dense planting
A Nature Genetics study led by Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences with Murdoch University and ICRISAT built a 14-genome peanut pan-genome, resequenced 2,320 accessions from 87 countries and found a hidden gene that halves plant height; the dwarf line LuAi-1 yields about 20% more at high densi
