Goals / Objectives
Major goals of the projectDevelop superior peanut cultivars adapted to the southeastern United States with desirable traits for increasing dollar value,yield, grade, disease resistance, insect resistance, virus resistance, nematode resistance, drought resistance, aflatoxinresistance, better shelling characteristics, longer shelf-life, and enhanced flavor and nutritional qualities. Obtain additionalinformation about qualitative and quantitative traits.
Project Methods
Genetic diversity within germplasm resources will be utilized to identify desirable characteristics. Hybridication followed by selection will be used to combine the good features from the parents into better agronomically suited progeny. Appropriate crosses will also be made to determine inheritance and gene action for various traits.

Outputs
Target Audience:Georgia-19HP is a new high-yielding, high-protein, high-oleic, TSWV-resistant, RKN-resistant, and Leafspot-resistant, virginia-type peanut cultivar. It is intended for the same market as other virginia-types. Seed supply of the Georgia-19HP peanut cultivar was limited during 2020, but it should be more available in the following years. Growers interested in this cultivar should contact their local county agent at the state cooperative extension service for more information. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Nothing Reported How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Nothing Reported What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Georgia-19HP is a new high-yielding, high-protein, high-oleic, (TSWV, RKN and Leafspot)-resistant, virginia-type peanut cultivar. It is intended for the same market as other virginia-types. Results from allelism test support that there are at least two different high-oleic genotypes. An example of a novel heterozygous peanut mutant plant was reported.

Nothing Reported How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Nothing Reported What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? 'GEORGIA 17SP' is a new high-yielding, high-oleic, TSWV-resistant, large-seeded, spanish-type peanut variety that was released by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in 2017. It was developed at the University of Georgia, Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. During seven-years averaged over two planting dates in Georgia, Georgia-17SPhad significantly less TSWV and total disease incidence, higher yield, grade, and dollar value return per acre compared to Georgia Browne, Georgia-04S, Tamspan 90, Tamnut-OL06, Pronto, Spanco, and OLin. Georgia-17SPwas also found to have a larger spanishseed size as compared to these other spanish cultivars. Georgia-17SPcombines high-yield, TSWV-resistance with larger seed size and the high-oleic trait for longer shelf-life and improved oil quality of peanut and peanut products.
