Time series transcriptome analysis Pigeonpea and cropwild relatives during heat stress
The present study was conducted to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the basal thermal tolerance in pigeon pea species through a time-series transcriptome analysis under HS. For this, Cajanus cajan cultivar, Asha (ICPL 87119) and its two wild relatives, C. scarabaeoides (ICP15695), and C. acutifolius (ICP15602), were selected to obtain a comprehensive idea about the dynamics of gene regulation and expression during HS in different species of pigeon pea and their innate adoptive features to tackle HS.
