Salinity stress is one of the important abiotic stresses in crops. In this study, ten different concentrations of NaCl solutions were tested to determine the optimal level of NaCl concentration for salinity tolerance test at the germination stage in peanut, and 0.6% NaC1 was suitable for the test. A total of 249 peanut accessions were tested with 0.6% NaC1 and radical root lengths of the accessions were measured. The results showed that there were significant genetic variations on the tolerance to salinity stress among the tested accessions. Through a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) using the Axiom_Arachis array with 58K SNPs, three putative SNPs with significant relation to radicle root length were identified on chromosomes Aradu.A03, Araip.B01, and Araip.B05.
