Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Medtr7g080980
• Gene Symbol: MtAHL2
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• Whereas mutation of NCR169 arrested bacteroid development at a late stage, the absence of MtAHL1 or MtAHL2 completely blocked bacteroid differentiation indicating that they also regulate other NCR genes required for the development of nitrogen-fixing nodules.
• Identified two closely related transcription factors, MtAHL1 and MtAHL2, that bound to the previously recognized motif 4 in the NCR169 promoter.
• The absence of either of the MtAHL1 and MtAHL2 transcription factors abolished the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules in M. truncatula demonstrating their importance in symbiosis.
• These phenotypes and their ability to induce NCR genes of different expression patterns imply that MtAHL1 and MtAHL2 play crucial roles in regulation of other NCR genes required for full bacteroid differentiation and the development of fully functioning nitrogen-fixing nodules.
