show Abstracthide AbstractAs a legume sepecies, mungbean also has the charcateristic of desiccation tolerance. However, the molecular mechanism of mungbean seed desiccation tolerance is still largely unkown. In this study, we attempt to investigate the transcriptome dynamics of mungbean seed in response to dehydration using RNA-seq. Thus, understanding of mungbean extreme tolerance to desiccation and drought will aid the development of strategies for improving drought stress resistance in crops.
