Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Agronomy will be publishing a Special Issue on the frontiers in peanut ecophysiology and yield formation. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most widely consumed crops because of its high edible oil and crude protein content. In terms of facing the double pressures from the changing environment and increasing demand of a growing population globally, peanut plays an essential role in securing food production due to its strong adaptability. With improvements in germplasm and cultivation techniques, it is of utmost importance to highlight that there is still a lot of potentials when it comes to increasing peanut yield and improving its quality. Thus, in this Special Issue, we encourage any advancements in peanut physiology, growth and development regulations, source-sink relationships, yield and quality formation in response to the environment, colony and canopy management, converting fundamental research to field benefits. Crosstalk between disciplines to serve the topic is also encouraged. This Special Issue will cover a wide variety of areas, aiming to contribute to the overall knowledge of peanut ecophysiology from several aspects.
