A novel hybrid identification protocol was developed for F01 peanutseeds resulting from crosses between normal oleate cultivars with wild type FAD2B gene and high oleategenotypes with an A insertion in FAD2B gene. Presence of a series of overlapped peaks in trace file of the PCR product amplified with bF19/R1 primers was an indication of hybridity. This protocol may facilitate high oleatebreeding and genetic studies in peanut.
