Absence of the nitrous oxide reductase gene cluster in commercial alfalfa inoculants is probably due to the extensive loss of genes during rhizobial domestication
(Springer, 2018-08)As other legume crops, alfalfa cultivation increases the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Since legumesymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a crucial role in this emission, it is important to understand ... -
Alfalfa snakin-1 prevents fungal colonization and probably coevolved with rhizobia
(BMC Plant Biology, 2014-09-17)Background: The production of antimicrobial peptides is a common defense strategy of living cells against a wide range of pathogens. Plant snakin peptides inhibit bacterial and fungal growth at extremely low concentrations. ... -
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of a polyester synthase-like gene delays flowering time in alfalfa
(Springer, 2023-02)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), commonly known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of plant protein for meat and milk production systems worldwide. Since alfalfa is a perennial vegetative-harvest forage, delaying ... -
pBAR–H3.2, a native-optimized binary vector to bypass transgene silencing in alfalfa
(Springer, 2020-03)Alfalfa is the main forage worldwide due to its high biomass production, excellent nutritional qualities and adaptation to a wide range of environments (Singer et al. 2018). Besides, due to its ability to grow without ... -
Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 genome-wide mutant screen for resistance to the antimicrobial peptide alfalfa snakin-1
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01)Snakin-1, a peptide produced by higher plants, has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity, inhibiting organisms ranging from Bacteria to Eukaryotes. However, the mode of action against target organisms is poorly understood. ...
