Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

Plant cell suspension cultures have several advantages that make them suitable for the
production of recombinant proteins. They can be cultivated under aseptic conditions using …

Plant microRNAs have been implicated in various abiotic stress responses. We identified
several conserved microRNAs that showed differential expression in Medicago truncatula …

Plants are often subjected to unfavorable environmental conditions–abiotic factors, causing
abiotic stresses-that play a major role in determining productivity of crop yields [1] but also …

Triterpenes are one of the largest classes of plant natural products, with an enormous variety
in structure and bioactivities. Here, triterpene saponins from hairy roots of the model legume …

In Medicago truncatula Gaertn. cv. Jemalong plants some mechanisms involved in drought
resistance were analysed in response to a progressive water deficit imposed by suppression …

Medicago truncatula, barrel medic, is a forage crop that has been developed into a model
legume. The development of new transformation methods is important for functional …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is induced in vitro in Medicago truncatula 2HA by auxin and
cytokinin but rarely in wild type Jemalong. The putative WUSCHEL (MtWUS), CLAVATA3 …

The effects of water stress were investigated in two Tunisian Medicago truncatula
populations collected from arid (Mt-173) and sub-humid (Mt-664) climates and two Tunisian …

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 …
