Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Medtr7g090020
• Gene Symbol: MtNOOT1
• Gene Name: NODULE ROOT1
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• The Medicago truncatula nodule identity gene MtNOOT1 is required for coordinated apical-basal development of the root.
• It has been shown that Medicago truncatula NODULE ROOT1 (MtNOOT1) is required for the maintenance of nodule identity, preventing the conversion to lateral root development.
• We provide molecular evidence that the affected spatial development of MtNOOT1 mutant roots correlates with delayed induction of genes involved in xylem cell differentiation.
• Our data show that MtNOOT1 regulates the size of the root apical meristem and vascular differentiation. Our data demonstrate that MtNOOT1 not only functions as a homeotic gene in nodule development but also coordinates the spatial development of the root.
