Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MtbHLH1
• Gene Name: basic helix loop helix 1
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• MtbHLH1, a bHLH transcription factor involved in Medicago truncatula nodule vascular patterning and nodule to plant metabolic exchanges.
• MtbHLH1, whose expression is upregulated during the development of root nodules produced upon infection by rhizobia bacteria.
• Altering MtbHLH1 function led to an unusual phenotype, with a modified patterning of nodule VB development and a reduced growth of aerial parts of the plant, even though the nodules were able to fix atmospheric N.
• Our results suggest that the MtbHLH1 gene is involved in the control of nodule vasculature patterning and nutrient exchanges between nodules and roots.
