The seeds of many legume species including soybean, Pongamia pinnata and the model
legume Medicago truncatula store considerable oil, apart from protein, in their cotyledons …

Grain legumes provide a rich resource of plant nutrition to human diets and are vital for food
security and sustainable cropping. Heat stress during flowering has a detrimental effect on …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) can be readily induced in leaf explants of the Jemalong 2HA
genotype of the model legume Medicago truncatula by auxin and cytokinin, but rarely in wild …

Key message Transcript profiling during the early induction phase of oil palm tissue culture
and RNAi studies in a model somatic embryogenesis system showed that EgENOD93 …

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 …

To evaluate the effectiveness of a germin-like protein (GLP) in legumes against the serious
soil-borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis, an Oryza sativa root-expressed GLP …

MicroRNAs are key regulators in the development processes or stress responses in plants.
In the last decade, several conserved or non-conserved microRNAs have been identified in …

Organisms are in constant interaction with their environment where they respond to abiotic
and biotic changes, and in turn affect their surroundings. During these interactions, they …

Grain legumes are important food crops that store most of their nutrients in their cotyledons.
Maximizing yield and obtaining the desired composition of the storage macromolecules …
