A mini core of the U.S. Peanut germplasm collection. A 10% sample resulting in a core of the core collection (mini core) based on eight above-ground and eight below-ground morphological characteristics. The above-ground descriptors were growth habit, plant size, prominence of main stem at mid-season, prominence of main stem at harvest, presence of flowers on the main axis, leaf color, stem pigmentation, and maturity. The below-ground descriptors were measrued post harvest and included pod shape, pod constriction, pod reticulation, seed per pod, 100-pod weight, U.S. pod market type, seed coat color, and 100-seed weight.
