Genome-wide characterization of PEBP genes in Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) with functional analysis of VrFT1 in relation to photoperiod.

ABSTRACT: Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.), a widely cultivated legume, belongs to the Fabaceae family's Papilionoideae subfamily. Although Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) genes have been identified in several plant species, their presence and function in mung bean remain largely unexplored. In this study, we identified seven VrPEBP genes from mung bean and classified them into four clades: FT, MFT, TFL and FT-like. Cis-regulatory element analysis revealed that VrPEBP genes may play a role in light, hormone, and stress responses. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis indicated that VrPEBPs were constitutively expressed in various tissues. However, tissue-specific expression patterns were observed among VrPEBP genes. Under short-day (SD) conditions, VrFT1 and VrMFT1 exhibited sign
