Research Progress in Peanut Breeding with High Oleic Acid
Oleic acid is an important quality index that determines the oxidation stability and nutritional value of peanut oil.In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have taken increasing oleic acid content and reducing linoleic acid content as an important direction of quality im-provement.Optimizing the composition and content of peanut fatty acids through molecular marker-assisted selection and traditional breeding techniques, and cultivating high oleic acid peanut varieties with high yield, strong disease resistance, and specialized properties is of great sig-nificance for promoting the development of the peanut industry and improving people's health.This paper reviewed the molecular mechanism of high oleic acid traits, the application of molecular marker-assisted selection in high oleic acid peanut breeding, and the identification tech-nology of high oleic acid peanuts.It analyzed the current status of high oleic acid variety breeding, and pointed out the problems in high oleic acid peanut breeding in China to provide a reference for expanding the breeding objectives of high oleic acid peanut.
