Arachis batizocoi is a herb native to Bolivia and Paraguay.

This plant is cited as gene sources for research in plant biology of peanut (Arachis hypogaea).

Arachis batizocoi maintains a divergent genome as well as high fertility that facilitates the upbringing of new and beneficial alleles within peanut crops.

[1] Such high crossability has increased the frequency of several advantageous alleles that have improved plant life and agricultural output.

Among these are boosted resistance against groundnut yield-limiting diseases such as late leaf spot (LLS) and groundnut rosette disease (GRD), larger seeds, and a higher overall yield.
