Abstract
Quality analysis of seed samples of 152 groundnut genotypes from China showed that the protein, oil and sucrose content, oleic acid and linoleic acid content, as percentage of total fatty acids, ranged from 18.93 to 30.22%, 37.42 to 55.69%, 2.73 to 14.65%, 20 to 80.51% and 2.91 to 41.82%, respectively. Correlations between these quality attributes were also analyzed. Protein content was not correlated with oil content; however, both of them were negatively related to sucrose content. The study also indicated the feasibility for developing high protein, oil or sucrose groundnut cultivars with high oleate to linoleate ratio as this ratio is not correlated with protein, oil or sucrose content. Germplasm lines with high protein, oil, sucrose or oleate to linoleate ratio were identified, providing materials for studying genetics of quality traits and breeding quality groundnut cultivars.
