Abstract: Peanut is an important oil and economic crop. For decades, the cultivation and extension of improved varieties take great contribution on the rapid development of peanut production. In this review, in order to elucidate the development process and the future development direction of the peanut breeding in China, the peanut variety replacement process in china was introduced, breeding techniques applied in peanut, excepted introduction and conventional crossbreeding, were summarized in detail and the targets of peanut breeding in china were also summarized. It pointed out that development of new peanut varieties with characteristics of high yielding, early maturing, high-quality, multi-resistant, suitable for export as well as suitable for mechanized cultivation and processing, using new breeding techniques combined with conventional breeding, would be the development direction of peanut breeding in the future.
