摘要: Legumes have the unique capacity to undergo two important root endosymbioses: nodule symbiosis and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. Medicago truncatula is widely used unravel functions of genes during these symbioses. Here we describe development an artificial microRNA (amiR)-mediated gene silencing system for M. roots. The endogenous (miR) mtr-miR159b was selected as a backbone molecule driving amiR expression. Heterologous expression mtr-miR159b-amiR constructs in tobacco showed that functional mediates efficient silencing. amiR-mediated visible marker also effective after transformation constitutively expressing marker. Most importantly, applied novel shed light on function putative transcription factor, MtErf1, which strongly induced arbuscule-containing cells MtPt4 promoter driven amiR-silencing led decreased transcript levels deformed, non-fully truncated arbuscules indicating MtErf1 required arbuscule development. demonstrated here presents highly tool endosymbioses.
