Wilczek), is an important pulse crop in the global south. Early flowering and maturation are advantageous traits for adaptation to northern and southern latitudes. This study investigates the genetic basis of the Days-to-Flowering trait (DTF) in mung bean, combining genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in mung bean and comparisons with orthologous genes involved with control of DTF responses in soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).<h4>Results</h4>The most significant associations for DTF were on mung bean chromosomes 1, 2, and 4. Only the SNPs on chromosomes 1 and 4 were heavily investigated using downstream analysis. The chromosome 1 DTF association is tightly linked with a cluster of locally duplicated FEBMC genomicsCombining GWAS and comparative genomics to fine map candidate genes for days to flowering in mung bean.PMC10935824IOW047143625-21220-007-000D5030-21000-071-000D58-5030-2-036#2022-67013-37120 (AS &SBC)#2022-67013-37120 (AS &amp;SBC)Farmer ARairdin ASandhu KSingh ARedsun SChiteri KOO'Rourke JACannon SBfalseCombining GWAS and comparative genomics to fine map candidate genes for days to flowering in mung bean.<h4>Background</h4>Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.)
