Arachis hypogaea Raw sequence reads

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is one of the most widely grown food legumes in the world being valued for its high protein and unsaturated oil contents. Drought stress is one of the major constraints that limits peanut production. The objective of this study was to identify the drought responsive genes preferentially expressed under drought stress in different peanut genotypes. To accomplish this, four genotypes (drought tolerant: C76-16 and 587; drought susceptible: Tifrunner and 506) subjected to drought stress in a rainout shelter experiment were examined. Transcriptome sequencing analysis identified 7,780 genes differentially expressed in Tifrunner and 9,767 in 506. Of the 7,780 genes in Tifrunner, 5,310 genes were up-regulated and 2,470 were down-regulated.
