Gene Details:
- Gene ID: MtrunA17_Chr4g0002631;MT0064_00055
- Gene Symbol: MtEFD
- Gene Name:
- Genome: Mt5.0 genome browser (https://medicago.toulouse.inra.fr/MtrunA17r5.0-ANR/)
- Species: Medicago truncatula
Functional Descriptions:
- MtEFD and MtEFD2: Two transcription factors with distinct neofunctionalization in symbiotic nodule development.
- MtEFD encodes an APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (ERF) transcription factor, the mutation of which leads to both hypernodulation and severe defects in nodule development.
- MtEFD positively controls a negative regulator of cytokinin signaling, the RESPONSE REGULATOR 4 (MtRR4) gene.
- Conclude that nitrogen-fixing symbiosis recruited two proteins originally expressed in roots, MtEFD and MtEFD2, with distinct functions and neofunctionalization processes for each of them.
