Several elite U.S. peanut varieties will be utilized to establish transformation and regeneration procedure. This involves the utilization of existing published method to determine if it can be applied specifically to these elite peanut varieties and to establish new procedures as necessary. Once a method for peanut transformation and regeneration procedure is established, candidate genes (i.e. disease resistance) will be transformed into peanut to generate genetically modified plants with the potential of enhanced agronomic traits.
