This review examines recent advances in the induction and development of somatic
embryos in leguminous plants. Emphasis has been given to identify the current trends and …

Medicago truncatula is now widely regarded as a legume model where there is an
increasing range of genomic resources. Highly regenerable lines have been developed …

Medicago truncatula has all the characteristics required for a concerted analysis of nitrogen-
fixing symbiosis with Rhizobium using the tools of molecular biology, cellular biology and …

We have cloned a SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASE (SERK) gene from
Medicago truncatula (MtSERK1) and examined its expression in culture using real time …

Seeds of Medicago truncatula cv. Jemalong line J5 were treated by γ-rays to create
mutations affecting Rhizobium symbiosis. Putative mutants were selected in M2 and true …

We describe a simple and efficient protocol for regeneration-transformation of two diploid
Medicago lines: the annual M. truncatula R108-1 (c3) and the perennial M. sativa ssp …

Transcriptional profiling of embryogenic callus produced from Medicago truncatula
mesophyll protoplasts indicated up-regulation of ethylene biosynthesis and ethylene …

Abstract Background The legume Medicago truncatula has emerged as a model plant for the
molecular and genetic dissection of various plant processes involved in rhizobial …

The understanding of how leguminous plants establish symbiosis with rhizobia is limited by
the lack of genetic system in most legume plants. Here we propose a Medicago truncatula …

The Medicago truncatula line 2HA has a 500-fold greater capacity to regenerate plants in
culture by somatic embryogenesis than wild-type Jemalong. We have compared proteomes …
