show Abstracthide AbstractPhosphorus deficiency mainly affects the growth and development of plants in mungbean. To address this issue, 144 diverse mungbean genotypes were evaluated for phosphorus uptake and utilization efficiency traits under hydroponics. further, genome wide association study was conducted with 55,634 SNPs obtained by NGS based genotyping by sequencing approach. After performing BLAST search analysis against Arabidopsis genome databae, we identified three potential candidate genes VRADI11G08340, VRADI01G05520 and VRADI04G10750 with missense SNPs in coding sequence region, which showed significant variation in protein structure at tertiary level
