Journal ArticleDOI

A putative Ca2+ and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase required for bacterial and fungal symbioses.

TL;DR: In this paper, DMI3, a Medicago truncatula gene that acts immediately downstream of calcium spiking in this signaling pathway and is required for both nodulation and mycorrhizal infection, has high sequence similarity to genes encoding calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CCaMKs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Shoot control of root development and nodulation is mediated by a receptor-like kinase

TL;DR: HAR1 encodes a putative serine/threonine receptor kinase, which is required for shoot-controlled regulation of root growth, nodule number, and for nitrate sensitivity of symbiotic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Medicago truncatula SUNN gene encodes a CLV1-like leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase that regulates nodule number and root length.

TL;DR: Comparison of related LRR receptor kinases determined that all nodulation autoregulation genes identified to date are the closest legume relatives of AtCLV1 by sequence, yet sunn, har and nark mutants do not display the fasciated clv phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional value of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds for feed and food

TL;DR: Development of faba bean cultivars with very low levels of VC would represent a real advantage in terms of nutritional performance in poultry diets and of food safety to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Medicago truncatula, a model plant for studying the molecular genetics of the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis.

TL;DR: By virtue of the diploid, self-fertilising and genetically homogeneous character of M. truncatula, it should be relatively straightforward to screen for recessive mutations in symbiotic genes, to carry out genetic analysis, and to construct an RFLP map for this plant.
