Description:
WPL-MagDur1 originates from the cross between the diploid peanut wild relatives A. magna GKSSc 30097 PI 468340 x A. duranensis 14167 PI 692197. Cuttings from the resulting diploid sterile hybrids were treated with 0.2% colchicine overnight. Newly induced, fertile and peanut compatible allotetraploids were recovered from this treatment.
