This book focuses on the discoveries in M. truncatula genomic research which has been undertaken in the last two decades. Legumes are important for their economic values as food, feed, and fodder and also serve as the pillar of sustainable agriculture because of its biological nitrogen fixation capacity. Medicago truncatula was established as a model legume in the 1990s and has been well adopted as a model internationally since then. M. truncatula is an autogamous, diploid (2n = 16) species with a short generation time, and relatively small genome size (~375 Mbp). The M. truncatula genome was initially sequenced by the International Medicago Genome Annotation Group (IMGAG) in 2011 and has been well-annotated. M. truncatula research benefits from the availability of several genetic and genomic tools, such as gene expression atlas (MtGEA), insertion and neutron bombardment mutant populations, anda HapMap panel containing 384 sequenced inbred lines for genome-wide association studies. This book covers the current status and latest advancements of the M. truncatula genomics and transcriptomics resources along with a glimpse of newly developed tools that makes M. truncatula a front runner model in functional genomic studies.
Dr. Senjuti Sinharoy is a staff scientist at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research, India. She obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 2009. She has been working on the root nodule symbiosis using Medicago truncatula as a model for the last ten years. She worked in the Medicago genome project between 2009 and 2015, during her postdoctoral stay at Noble Research Institute, USA, and annotated the transcription factors in the Medicago genome. Her main research goal is to understand the molecular mechanism of root nodule symbiosis. She is working to decipher the transcription factors and their networks that govern root nodule development. For the last five years, she is heading the lab as an independent scientist and working on the symbiosis and development of tools for root nodule symbiosis and functional genomics studies.
Professor Vagner Augusto Benedito is an associate professor of Biochemical Genetics and Plant Physiology at West Virginia University. One of the research strands in his lab focuses on understanding gene function of transcription factors and membrane transporters during nodule development and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in themodel legume, Medicago truncatula . Moreover, he is also interested in understanding how the genetic networks are formed and sustained and how natural genetic variation contributes to these processes, especially regarding nitrogen fixation efficiencies.
Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
