Drought transcriptome data of soybean seedling

The present study used RNA-seq approach to investigate transcriptomic profiles of two soybean cultivars in different drought tolerance levels, Jindou 21 (JD, drought-tolerance) and Tianlong No.1 (N1, drought-sensitive), subjected to drought stress at seedling stage, in which candidate genes and molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance were identified at the soybean seedling stage. Our study aims to reveal the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance between two soybean varieties at the seedling stage from the transcriptional level, which provides a certain research basis for improving the tolerance of soybean seedlings to drought stress in the future.
