Open AccessA genome-wide association study reveals novel loci and candidate genes associated with plant height variation in Medicago sativa
Plant height (PH) is an important agronomic trait influenced by a complex genetic network. However, the genetic basis for the variation in PH in Medicago sativa remains largely unknown. In this study, a comprehen...

Open AccessOverexpression of the elongation factor MtEF1A1 promotes salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula
Elongation factor 1 A (EF1A), an essential regulator for protein synthesis, has been reported to participate in abiotic stress responses and environmental adaption in plants. However, the role of EF1A in abiotic ...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification, phylogeny and expression analysis of the SPL gene family and its important role in salt stress in Medicago sativa L.
SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) transcription factors are widely present in plants and are involved in signal transduction, the stress response and development. The SPL gene family has been character...

A Novel miRNA Sponge Form Efficiently Inhibits the Activity of miR393 and Enhances the Salt Tolerance and ABA Insensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in eukaryotes by directing target mRNAs for degradation or by repressing translation. MicroRNAs are involved in many processes, inc...

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of a salt-induced gene encoding an RNA-binding protein in alfalfa
Based on the sequence of an expressed sequence tag of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv. Zhongmu-1), a full-length sequence of 1,551 nucleotides was isolated using RACE-PCR techniques. This gene (MsRBP) was predicte...
