A gene expression atlas of the model legume Medicago truncatula.
Legumes played central roles in the development of agriculture and civilization, and today account for approximately one-third of the world's primary crop production. Unfortunately, most cultivated legumes are poor model systems for genomic research. Therefore, Medicago truncatula, which has a relatively small diploid genome, has been adopted as a model species for legume genomics. To enhance i...
متن کاملDifferential expression within the glutamine synthetase gene family of the model legume Medicago truncatula.
The glutamine synthetase (GS) gene family of Medicago truncatula Gaertn. contains three genes related to cytosolic GS (MtGSa, MtGSb, and MtGSc), although one of these (MtGSc) appears not to be expressed. Sequence analysis suggests that the genes are more highly conserved interspecifically rather than intraspecifically: MtGSa and MtGSb are more similar to their homologs in Medicago sativa and Pi...
متن کاملGenome-wide identification of nodule-specific transcripts in the model legume Medicago truncatula.
The Medicago truncatula expressed sequence tag (EST) database (Gene Index) contains over 140,000 sequences from 30 cDNA libraries. This resource offers the possibility of identifying previously uncharacterized genes and assessing the frequency and tissue specificity of their expression in silico. Because M. truncatula forms symbiotic root nodules, unlike Arabidopsis, this is a particularly impo...
متن کاملMedicago truncatula
Immanuel Kant noted this approach would not be suitable for understanding complex systems such as an organism. He said there would never be a " Newton of the blade of grass " : because the blade of grass is more than the sum of its parts, complete knowledge of the parts list will not necessarily be predictive of the behavior of the whole. Fortunately, we don't have to resort to a vitalistic exp...
متن کاملRegulation of Carbon Partitioning in the Seed of the Model Legume Medicago truncatula and Medicago orbicularis: A Comparative Approach
The proportion of starch, protein and oil in legume seeds is species dependent. The model legume, Medicago truncatula, has predominantly oil and protein stores. To investigate the regulation of seed oil production we compared M. truncatula with M. orbicularis, which has less oil and protein. The types of protein and fatty acids are similar between the two species. Electron microscopy indicated ...
