Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Medtr7g090020.1
• 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. MtNOOT1 and its orthologs in other plant species -collectively called the NOOT-BOP-COCH-LIKE (NBCL) family- specify boundary formation in various aerial organs.
• MtNOOT1 mutant roots are thinner than wild-type and are delayed in xylem cell differentiation. 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.
