Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Mol Plant Microbe Interact 15:529-39. 2002..Comparative mapping reveals several blocks of resistance gene loci that are syntenic between M. truncatula and soybean and between M. truncatula and pea...
R gene-controlled host specificity in the legume-rhizobia symbiosisShengming Yang
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:18735-40. 2010..This study suggests that establishment of a root nodule symbiosis requires the evasion of plant immune responses triggered by rhizobial effectors...
Bridging model and crop legumes through comparative genomicsHongyan Zhu
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40546, USA
Plant Physiol 137:1189-96. 2005
Tracing nonlegume orthologs of legume genes required for nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosesHongyan Zhu
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington 40546, USA
Genetics 172:2491-9. 2006....
Antiquity and function of CASTOR and POLLUX, the twin ion channel-encoding genes key to the evolution of root symbioses in plantsCaiyan Chen
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40546, USA
Plant Physiol 149:306-17. 2009..Furthermore, a cross-species complementation test indicates that Os-POLLUX can restore nodulation, but not rhizobial infection, to a Medicago truncatula dmi1 mutant...
Alfalfa benefits from Medicago truncatula: the RCT1 gene from M. truncatula confers broad-spectrum resistance to anthracnose in alfalfaShengming Yang
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:12164-9. 2008..This work demonstrates the potential of using M. truncatula genes for genetic improvement of alfalfa...
OsIPD3, an ortholog of the Medicago truncatula DMI3 interacting protein IPD3, is required for mycorrhizal symbiosis in riceCaiyan Chen
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546, USA
New Phytol 180:311-5. 2008..Phenotypic and genetic analyses revealed that the Osipd3 mutants were unable to establish a symbiotic association with G. intraradices. In conclusion, IPD3 represents a novel gene required for root symbiosis with AM fungi in plants...
Fungal symbiosis in rice requires an ortholog of a legume common symbiosis gene encoding a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinaseCaiyan Chen
Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40546, USA
Plant Physiol 145:1619-28. 2007..We demonstrate that OsDMI3 is not only required for AM symbiosis in rice but also is able to complement a M. truncatula dmi3 mutant, indicating an equivalent role of MtDMI3 orthologs in non-legumes...
Symbiosis specificity in the legume - rhizobial mutualismDong Wang
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003, USA Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546, USA

Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546, USA
Theor Appl Genet 116:45-52. 2007..RCT1 is part of a complex locus containing numerous genes homologous to previously characterized TIR-NBS-LRR type resistance genes. The result presented in this paper will facilitate the positional cloning of RCT1 in Medicago...
Identification and characterization of nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat genes in the model plant Medicago truncatulaCarine Ameline-Torregrosa
Laboratoire des Interactions Plantes Microorganismes, UMR CNRS INRA 442 2594, 31326, Castanet Tolosan, France
Plant Physiol 146:5-21. 2008..This analysis shows the gene family not only is important functionally and agronomically, but also plays a structural role in the genome...
Estimating genome conservation between crop and model legume speciesHong-Kyu Choi
Department of Plant Pathology and College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Genomics Facility, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:15289-94. 2004..These results 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...
Syntenic relationships between Medicago truncatula and Arabidopsis reveal extensive divergence of genome organizationHongyan Zhu
Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
Plant Physiol 131:1018-26. 2003..In some cases, the erosion of microsynteny could be ascribed to the selective gene loss from duplicated loci, whereas in other cases, it is due to the absence of close homologs of M. truncatula genes in Arabidopsis...
Diversity, distribution, and ancient taxonomic relationships within the TIR and non-TIR NBS-LRR resistance gene subfamiliesSteven B Cannon
Department of Plant Biology, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
