Abstract：Breeding peanut cultivars suitable for planting in saline and alkaline soils may help alleviate edible oil shortage in China.Thus,the peanut planting test in saline and alkaline fields was conducted.The results demonstrated that interspecific hybridization and chemical mutagenesis were the most effective ways for germplasm enhancement of peanut with salt -and alkali -tolerance.Sixty -nine salt -and alkali -tolerant peanut varieties were tentatively identified from 1 26 cultivars/lines.Eleven promising cultivars/lines,inclu-ding Huayu 961 0,Huayu 961 7,Huayu 961 2,Huayu 31 ,Huayu 961 1 ,Huayu 57,Huayu 40,Huayu 961 4, Huayu 961 3,STM-2 and Yuanza 91 02,performed better under stressed and unstressed conditions,so they would be hopefully used in commercial production after further evaluation.
