中文摘要：

以中国花生种质资源数据库中记录的6390份花生资源为材料，以其基本数据、特征数据和评价数据为信息，采用分层分组聚类以及随机取样与必选资源相结合的方法，构建了由576份资源组成的花生核心种质，占基础收集品的9．01％。除出仁率外，核心种质与基础收集品种间的其他14个性状平均值和多样性指数差异均不明显，表明本研究建立的核心种质是有效的。与ICRISAT花生微核心种质的比较，中国花生资源在龙生型和珍珠豆型方面具有优势，叶片长、叶片宽、种子长、种子宽的遗传多样性丰富；而ICRISAT花生资源在多粒型和普通型方面具有优势，且植株高度和总分枝数的遗传多样性比中国花生资源丰富。

英文摘要：

The core collection has been well accepted as a useful way to improve the efficiency of crop gerrnplasm evaluation, conservation and utilization. Around 6390 accessions of cultivated peanut （Arachis hypogaea L.） have been collected in China. In order to characterize and utilize the germplasm more efficiently for further crop improvement, the available morphological and biochemical data were analyzed to develop a core collection. The entire collection was first stratified by botanical types and then grouped by origin locations. Based on the data of 15 morphological and biochemical characters, the accessions in each botanical type were clustered by SAS method. From each cluster, five to ten percent of the accessions were randomly selected to form a core collection consisting of 576 accessions, which was 9.01% of the entire collection. The genetic variation in the entire collection was well presented in the core collection based on comparison of diversity index of the involved traits in both entire and core collections. Comparison between the newly selected Chinese peanut core collection and the introduced mini core collection consisting of 184 lines established at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics （ICRISAT） indicated that there were wider diversities in the var. hirsuta and vulgaris as well as in leaf length, leaf width, seed length, seed width in the Chinese core collection. The ICRISAT peanut collection had wider diversities in var. hypogaea and fastigiata as well as in plant height and number of total branches than Chinese peanut resource.
