Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation has become routine work across
the world to study gene function and the production of genetically modified plants. However …

The MYB‐basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH)‐WD 40 complexes regulating anthocyanin and
proanthocyanidin (PA) biosynthesis in plants are not fully understood. Here Medicago …

The world's ecosystems are characterized by an unequal distribution of resources [1]. Trade
partnerships between organisms of different species—mutualisms—can help individuals …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form the most wide‐spread endosymbiosis with plants. There is
very little host specificity in this interaction, however host preferences as well as varying …

Summary NIN (NODULE INCEPTION) is a transcription factor that plays a key role during
root nodule initiation. However, its role in later nodule developmental stages is unclear. Both …

Effector proteins present in aphid saliva are thought to modulate aphid–plant interactions.
Armet, an effector protein, is found in the phloem sap of pea-aphid-infested plants and is …

Transgenic plants represent an invaluable tool for molecular, genetic, biochemical and
physiological studies by gene overexpression or silencing, transposon-based mutagenesis …

The fungal necrotrophic pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is a significant constraint to a range of
crops as diverse as cereals, canola, and legumes. Despite wide-ranging germplasm …

In the last few decades, a large research input has been geared up to develop and exploit a
number of different techniques aiming to produce plants with improved resistance to biotic …

Medicago truncatula was chosen by the legume community, along with Lotus japonicus, as
a model plant to study legume biology. Since then, numerous resources and tools have …
