TL;DR: A gene expression atlas is generated that provides a global view of gene expression in all major organ systems of this species, with special emphasis on nodule and seed development, and indicates that phylogenetic analysis alone is insufficient to predict the function of orthologs in different species.

TL;DR: Functional genomics was used to investigate global gene expression and metabolic responses of bean plants grown under P-deficient and P-sufficient conditions and candidate genes have been identified that may contribute to root adaptation to P deficiency and be useful for improvement of common bean.

TL;DR: Transcription factors are DNA-binding proteins that interact with other transcriptional regulators, including chromatin remodeling/modifying proteins, to recruit or block access of RNA polymerases to the DNA template.

TL;DR: High-throughput qRT-PCR using a 384-well plate format enables rapid, flexible, and sensitive quantification of all predicted Medicago transcription factor mRNAs.

TL;DR: Among the nodule- and mycorrhiza-induced transporter genes are many candidates for known transport activities in these beneficial symbioses and a unique resource for the selection and functional characterization of legume transporters is presented.
