<i>De novo</i> QTL-seq Identifies Loci Linked to Blanchability in Peanut (<i>Arachis hypogaea</i>) and Refines Previously Identified QTL with Low Coverage Sequence

Blanchability is an often overlooked, but important trait for peanut breeding. The process of blanching, removing the skin, is an important step in the processing of raw nuts for manufacturing. Under strong genetic control and requiring considerable effort to phenotype, blanchability is conducive fo...
