Time-series transcriptome analysis of Gmax and Gsoja seed during germination

The study of stored mRNA in the seeds and mRNA changes during germination might provide insight into the molecular mechanism involved in the longevity of stored soybean seeds. In the present study, utilizing transcriptome of two soybean genotype with contrasting seed longevity abilities, i.e., G. max and G. soja of stored seeds (0 hrs) and during seed germination (i.e., 12 hrs and 48 hrs after water imbibition), we identified potential genes influencing seed longevity and their networking with biotic defense-related pathways.
