Journal ArticleDOI

The Medicago genome provides insight into the evolution of rhizobial symbioses

Nevin D. Young, +138 more
- 22 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: The draft sequence of the M. truncatula genome sequence is described, a close relative of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), a widely cultivated crop with limited genomics tools and complex autotetraploid genetics, which provides significant opportunities to expand al falfa’s genomic toolbox.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gene expression atlas of the model legume Medicago truncatula.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Legume transcription factors: global regulators of plant development and response to the environment

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Medicago truncatula gene expression atlas web server

TL;DR: The MtGEA web server has a well managed rich data set, and offers data retrieval and analysis tools provided in the web platform, and is proven to be a powerful resource for plant biologists to effectively and efficiently identify Medicago transcripts of interest from a multitude of aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergence of developmental mutants into a single tomato model system: 'Micro-Tom' as an effective toolkit for plant development research

TL;DR: The community resource presented here is a useful toolkit for plant research, particularly for future studies in plant development, which will require the simultaneous observation of the effect of various hormones, signaling pathways and crosstalk.
