No. CV-xxx, PI 661498) is a large-seeded virginia-type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea) with high yield and medium maturity, uniform pod size and shape, high grade, superior shelling characters, low oil content, normal oleic acid content, and good flavor. AU-1101 was developed through pedigree selection. AU-1101 was tested under the experimental designation Exp3-1114 and was released by the Alabama Crop Improvement Association (ACIA) in 2011. AU-1101 was tested by the USDA-ARS National Peanut Research Laboratory in West Texas and the Uniform Peanut Performance Tests as a local option. AU-1101 has an alternate branching pattern, an intermediate runner growth habit, green foliage, and high percentage of fancy pods and large virginia-type seeds. It has an even distribution of 39% extra large kernel and 35% medium size kernel. The seeds have pink testa color and average weights of extra large kernel and medium kernel were 1050 mg seed-1 and 721 mg seed -1, respectively. Approximately 82% of the pods grades as fancy.
