High oleic acid composition is an important determinant of seed quality in peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in regard to its nutritional benefits for human health and prolonged shelf-life for peanut products. To improve the oleic acid content of popular peanut cultivars in China, four peanut cultivars of different market types were hybridized with high-oleic-acid donors and backcrossed for four generations as recurrent parents using fad2 marker-assisted backcross selection. Seed quality traits in advanced generations derived by selfing were assessed using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy for detection of oleic acid and Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) screening of fad2 mutant markers. Twenty-four high-oleic-acid lines of BCsub(4)Fsub(4) and BCsub(4)Fsub(5) populations, with morphological features and agronomic traits similar to those of the recurrent parents, were obtained within 5 years. The genetic backgrounds of BCsub(4)Fsub(5) lines were estimated using the KASP assay, which revealed the genetic background recovery rate was 79.49%-92.31%. The superior lines raised are undergoing a multi-location test for cultivar registration and release. To our knowledge, this is the first application of single nucleotide polymorphism markers based on the high-throughput and cost-effective KASP assay for detection of fad2 mutations and genetic background evaluation in a peanut breeding program.
