Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating genome conservation between crop and model legume species
Hong Kyu Choi,Jeong Hwan Mun,Dong-Jin Kim,Hongyan Zhu,Jong-Min Baek,J. Mudge,Bruce A. Roe,Noel Ellis,Jeff J. Doyle,György B. Kiss,György B. Kiss,Nevin D. Young,Douglas R. Cook +12 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of sequenced regions of the model legume Medicago truncatula with those of the diploid Lotus japonicus and the polyploid Glycine max suggest that comparative mapping may have considerable utility for basic and applied research in the legumes, although its predictive value is likely to be tempered by phylogenetic distance and genome duplication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging Model and Crop Legumes through Comparative Genomics
TL;DR: The Fabaceae, or legumes, constitute the third largest family of flowering plants, comprising more than 650 genera and 18,000 species, accounting for more than half of the world's flowering plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat genes in the model plant Medicago truncatula.
Carine Ameline-Torregrosa,Bing Bing Wang,Majesta O'Bleness,Shweta Deshpande,Hongyan Zhu,Bruce A. Roe,Nevin D. Young,Steven B. Cannon +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis shows the nucleotide-binding site (NBS)-Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene family not only is important functionally and agronomically, but also plays a structural role in the genome
Journal ArticleDOI
R gene-controlled host specificity in the legume–rhizobia symbiosis
TL;DR: It is suggested that establishment of a root nodule symbiosis requires the evasion of plant immune responses triggered by rhizobial effectors, and the existence of their cognate avirulence genes derived from rhizobia is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbiosis specificity in the legume: rhizobial mutualism.
TL;DR: The current understanding of the mechanisms used by the host and bacteria to choose their symbiotic partners are reviewed, with a special focus on the role that the host immunity plays in controlling the specificity of the legume – rhizobial symbiosis.
