Abstract

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars are available that have high resistance to the peanut root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal) Chitwood race 1] or tomato spotted wilt, caused by tomato spotted wilt Tospovirus (TSWV); however, no cultivars exist that have resistance to both pathogens. The objective of this research was to combine resistance to both pathogens in a single genotype. During the course of this research, we also had the opportunity to develop near-isogenic lines with and without nematode resistance. Such near-isogenic lines can be valuable research tools to obtain a better understanding of the interaction of nematodes with other pathogens of peanut. Breeding populations were developed by hybridizing the TSWV-resistant cultivar C-99R with the nematode-resistant cultivar COAN. Selection for nematode resistance was conducted using standard greenhouse screening techniques. Selection for TSWV resistance was conducted in the field with natural virus infection. A breeding line (C724-19-15) was selected that had high resistance to both pathogens. A near-isogenic line (C724-19-25) susceptible to the peanut root-knot nematode was also developed. Both breeding lines exhibited higher resistance to TSWV and higher yield than standard check cultivars when grown in fields with little or no nematode pressure
