Production and Characterization of Diverse Developmental Mutants of Medicago truncatula1

Penmetsa, R. Varma, Cook, Douglas R.

The diploid annual legume Medicago truncatula has been developed as a tractable genetic system for studying biological questions that are unique to, or well suited for study in legume species. An...

Differential Regulation of a Family of Apyrase Genes from Medicago truncatula1

Cohn, Jonathan R., Uhm, Taesik, Ramu, Senthil, Nam, Yong-Woo, Kim, Dong-Jin, Penmetsa, R. Varma, ...

Four putative apyrase genes were identified from the model legume Medicago truncatula. Two of the genes identified from M. truncatula (Mtapy1 and Mtapy4) are expressed in roots and are inducible...

Four Genes of Medicago truncatula Controlling Components of a Nod Factor Transduction Pathway

Catoira, Romy, Galera, Christine, De Billy, Francoise, Penmetsa, R. Varma, Journet, Etienne-Pascal, Maillet, Fabienne, ...

Rhizobium nodulation (Nod) factors are lipo-chitooligosaccharides that act as symbiotic signals, eliciting several key developmental responses in the roots of legume hosts. Using nodulation-defective...

Dual Genetic Pathways Controlling Nodule Number in Medicago truncatula1

Penmetsa, R. Varma, Frugoli, Julia A., Smith, Lucinda S., Long, Sharon R., Cook, Douglas R.

We report the isolation and characterization of a new Medicago truncatula hyper-nodulation mutant, designated sunn (super numeric nodules). Similar to the previously described ethylene-insensitive...

LIN, a Medicago truncatula Gene Required for Nodule Differentiation and Persistence of Rhizobial Infections1

Kuppusamy, Kavitha T., Endre, Gabriella, Prabhu, Radhika, Penmetsa, R. Varma, Veereshlingam, Harita, Cook, Douglas R., ...

Ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis of the model legume Medicago truncatula has previously identified several genes required for early steps in nodulation. Here, we describe a new mutant that is...

nip, a Symbiotic Medicago truncatula Mutant That Forms Root Nodules with Aberrant Infection Threads and Plant Defense-Like Response1

Veereshlingam, Harita, Haynes, Janine G., Penmetsa, R. Varma, Cook, Douglas R., Sherrier, D. Janine, Dickstein, Rebecca

To investigate the legume-Rhizobium symbiosis, we isolated and studied a novel symbiotic mutant of the model legume Medicago truncatula, designated nip (numerous infections and polyphenolics). When...

A sequence-based genetic map of Medicago truncatula and comparison of marker colinearity with M. sativa.

Choi, Hong-Kyu, Kim, Dongjin, Uhm, Taesik, Limpens, Eric, Lim, Hyunju, Mun, Jeong-Hwan, ...

A core genetic map of the legume Medicago truncatula has been established by analyzing the segregation of 288 sequence-characterized genetic markers in an F(2) population composed of 93 individuals....
