Different varieties of peanut grown under simulated drought conditions. One variety (left) yielded few mature pods, while another produced almost the same amount of peanuts under drought conditions (right) as it did under normal growing conditions (not shown). USDA scientists are using genetic screening and growing experiments to identify drought-resilient peanut varieties. Photos by Paxton Payton, USDA Agricultural Research Service
