The Peanut Research Foundation (TPRF) funds innovative research that strengthens the peanut industry through genetics, production and processing. Recent projects include research exploring the wide genetic diversity found in wild peanuts. Through this work, natural genes have been discovered that provide resistance to important diseases and nematodes. Some of these new traits are already available to peanut breeders to incorporate into new varieties and new traits are being discovered!
TPRF’s board represents all segments of the industry and operates solely on voluntary donations. Your tax-deductible support keeps peanuts competitive and profitable. Contact Executive Director Keith Rucker (
