Peanut，which provide people vegetable fatty and protein, is one of the most important oilseed and cash crops. Genetic transformation has launched a new era in peanut breeding and germplasm creativity. It offers a direct method of creating varieties that selectively targets gene or a few heterologous traits for introduction into the peanut plant. Great advances have been made in peanut genetic transformation in the past years. This paper reviews the recent progress in genetic transformation of peanut on heterologous gene such as resistance to viruses, insects, abiotic stress, quality improvement and so on. It also summarizes the recent progress and the exploration of genetic peanut on transformational methods including A . t umef aciens mediated, particle bombardment and non-tissue culture.
