Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is susceptible to many insect pests, but genotypes resistant to the common cutworm (Spodoptera litura) have yet to be identified. We screened for natural variants among wild mungbean populations and identified resistant (R1) and susceptible (S1) accessions. RNA-Seq data from...
