QTL mapping reveals a wild-derived segment controlling plant architecture in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) using a cultivar-wild hybrid population.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPlant architecture is a key agronomic trait of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), which is closely associated with yield, stress resistance, and suitability for mechanical harvesting. However, research on the genetics and gene mining of peanut plant architecture remains relatively limited, thereby hindering the genetic improvement of peanut plant architecture.
resultsMost cultivated peanut varieties exhibit an erect or semi-prostrate growth habit, whereas wild peanut species predominantly display a trailing growth habit. In the present study, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, designated as the TI population was developed by crossing the female parent Tifrunner with the male parent IpaDur, a synthetic amphidiploid derived from cross of Arachis ipaënsis × Arachis duranensis. Traits related to plant architecture, including lateral branch angle (LBA), lateral branch length (LBL), main stem height (MSH), main stem thickness (MST), lateral branch thickness (LBT), internode length (IL), number of branches (NBS), and biomass (BIO), were evaluated across three environments. Based on a high-density genetic linkage map, 20 QTLs associated with these traits were identified, which explained 6.04%-18.68% of the phenotypic variance (PVE). A locus controlling LBA, LBL, and MST was mapped to an overlapping interval (122.57-137.18 Mb) on chromosome 14. Phenotypic effect analysis revealed that this wild species-derived segment is crucial for controlling the typical morphogenesis of wild-type peanut species. In addition, we identified a set of genotypes derived from cultivated-wild hybrid population, which exhibited the convergence of one or more favorable agronomical traits.
conclusionsUsing a cultivar-wild hybrid population, 20 QTLs for plant architecture were identified in peanut. A wild-derived genomic segment was found to control typical wild-type morphogenesis. Novel germplasm pyramiding multiple agronomic favorable traits were selected. This study provides key theoretical insights and valuable resources for utilizing wild species in peanut improvement.
