abstract：:Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is a devastating disease affecting over 350 plant species. A few peanut cultivars were found to possess stable and durable bacterial wilt resistance (BWR). Genomics-assisted breeding can accelerate the process of developing resistant cultivars by using diagnostic marke...
