Aphids are major insect pests of plants that feed directly from the phloem. We used the
model legume Medicago truncatula Gaert.(barrel medic) to elucidate host resistance to …

Legumes are second only to grasses in worldwide economic importance, and
understanding their molecular genetics is vital to the breeding of important grain and forage …

Medicago truncatula is a fast‐emerging model for the study of legume functional biology. We
used the tobacco retrotransposon Tnt1 to tag the Medicago genome and generated over …

Improving the digestibility of forages provides a means to enhance animal performance and

Genes encoding seven enzymes of the monolignol pathway were independently
downregulated in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) using antisense and/or RNA interference. In …

The monoxenic culture of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has markedly improved our
understanding of the symbiosis. In the past 15 years, increasing amounts of literature have …

The genome of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is being sequenced by an international
consortium of 10 countries (Korea, China, the United Kingdom, India, The Netherlands …

NUPTs (nuclear plastid DNA) derive from plastid-to-nucleus DNA transfer and exist in
various plant species. Experimental data imply that the DNA transfer is an ongoing, highly …

The proteome of a Medicago truncatula cell suspension culture was analyzed using two-
