Abstract

The wild allotetraploid peanut species Arachis monticola is an important and unique link from the wild diploid species to cultivated tetraploid species in the Arachis lineage. In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201901672, Dongmei Yin, Jinsong Zhang, Wei Hu, Z. Jeffrey Chen, and co‐workers present a fully‐annotated sequence of the A. monticola genome and comparative genomics of the Arachis species, which reveal asymmetric subgenome evolution and genome‐assisted improvement of peanut production and resistance.
