Identification of genetic factors influencing flavonoid biosynthesis through pooled transcriptome analysis in mungbean sprouts.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is gaining increasing interest among legume crops because of its nutritional value. Various secondary metabolites that act as antioxidants and bioactive compounds are beneficial for human health. The secondary metabolite content in plants is easily influenced by environmental conditions, and this influence varies depending on the genotype.

Materials and methods

Here, we screened six genotypes with consistently high and low content of major secondary metabolites (gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, neo-chlorogenic acid, genistin, formononetin, catechin, syringic acid, and resveratrol) across environmental replicates. Transcriptome data obtained from the individual genotypes were pooled into two groups: high and low levels of secondar
