Many plants are able to develop mutualistic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
and/or nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Whereas the former is widely distributed among most of the …

RNAi refers to several different types of gene silencing mediated by small, dsRNA
molecules. Over the course of 20 years, the scientific understanding of RNAi has developed …

Systemic autoregulation of nodulation in legumes involves a root-derived signal (Q) that is
perceived by a CLAVATA1-like leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase (eg GmNARK) …

The ability to trace every cell in some model organisms has led to the fundamental
understanding of development and cellular function. However, in plants the complexity of …

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

All lateral organ development in plants, such as nodulation in legumes, requires the
temporal and spatial regulation of genes and gene networks. A total mRNA profiling …

Abstract Background Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes (TILLING) is a powerful
reverse genetics approach for functional genomics studies. We used high-throughput …

Soybean nodulation is a highly controlled process that involves complex gene regulation at
both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels. In the present study, we profiled gene …

The Glycine max nodule autoregulation receptor kinase (GmNARK) plays a central role in
the systemic signal transduction pathway controlling nodulation in soybean. We used …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation has become a powerful tool for studying
gene function and root biology due to its quick and simple methodology. This transformation …
