Symbiotic outcome modified by the diversification from 7 to over 700 nodule specific cysteine rich peptides [PDF]
, 2020 Legume-rhizobium symbiosis represents one of the most successfully co-evolved mutualisms. Within nodules, the bacterial cells undergo distinct metabolic and morphological changes and differentiate into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids.

Selection Mapping Identifies Loci Underpinning Autumn Dormancy in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). [PDF]
, 2018 Autumn dormancy in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is associated with agronomically important traits including regrowth rate, maturity, and winter survival. Historical recurrent selection experiments have been able to manipulate the dormancy response.

Sinorhizobium meliloti can protect Medicago truncatula against Phoma medicaginis attack
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2011 The Sinorhizobium meliloti microsymbiont of Medicago spp. was used in an antibiosis test against Phoma medicaginis and in bioprotection assays of Medicago truncatula JA17 from the pathogen. Among 17 S.

A saturated genetic linkage map of autotetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) developed using genotyping-by-sequencing is highly syntenous with the Medicago truncatula genome. [PDF]
, 2014 A genetic linkage map is a valuable tool for quantitative trait locus mapping, map-based gene cloning, comparative mapping, and whole-genome assembly. Alfalfa, one of the most important forage crops in the world, is autotetraploid, allogamous, and highly

The Candidate Photoperiod Gene MtFE Promotes Growth and Flowering in Medicago truncatula
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Flowering time influences the yield and productivity of legume crops. Medicago truncatula is a reference temperate legume that, like the winter annual Arabidopsis thaliana, shows accelerated flowering in response to vernalization (extended cold) and long-

Medicago truncatula on the Move! [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2001 Plant biology is moving rapidly. With the recent completion of the sequence of the Arabidopsis genome ([The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, 2000][1]), researchers have turned their attention to the genomes of other crop plants ([Adam, 2000][2]). Many agronomically important crop plants are legumes,
