Genome-wide, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and germination data were
analyzed to better understand species delimitation and salt-tolerance within the legume …

Resequencing of natural accessions of Medicago truncatula has enabled evolutionary
analyses using population genomics to estimate genome wide patterns of diversity …

Background As our world becomes warmer, agriculture is increasingly impacted by rising
soil salinity and understanding plant adaptation to salt stress can help enable effective crop …

Evolutionary relationships among species have in recent years been inferred using DNA
sequences from specific genes and represented by tree diagrams (phylogenies). However …

Medicago truncatula, an important member of the legume family (Fabaceae) known for its
ability to produce high protein-containing crops, typically has a symbiotic relationship with …

Breeding salt tolerant plants is difficult without utilizing a diversity of wild crop relatives.
Since the genus Vigna (family Fabaceae) is comprised of many wild relatives adapted to …

The species phylogeny of Medicago L.(Leguminosae) remains unresolved, as there is
significant incongruence between the published gene phylogenies. Here, we compare six of …

In the current context of food security, increasing plant protein production in a sustainable
manner represents one of the major challenges of agronomic research, which could be …

To understand the complex inheritance of tolerance to salt stress in Medicago truncatula,
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis was performed using a set of recombinant inbred lines …

Medicago polymorpha is a nutritious and palatable forage and vegetable plant that also
fixes nitrogen. Here, we reveal the chromosome-scale genome sequence of M. polymorpha …
