| The molecular mechanism underlying geocarpic pod development in peanut is poorly understood. |
|
| Previous studies suggested that the geocarpic development of peanut pods is regulated by several factors, such as light, mechanical stimuli, hormones, and gravity. |
|
| The identification of specific and highly abundant proteins in S2 and S3 gynophores provided valuable information that can be used to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying geocarpic pod development. |
|
| Geocarpic development enables the underground pods to absorb soil nutrients and protects the fruit from damage by ground animals and extreme weather. |
