Medicago truncatula roots. Nodulation vs. Arsenic

ABSTRACT: Legumes, in interaction with resistant rhizobia, combined both moderate tolerance and accumulation of metal(loids) in roots, with the ability to grow without nitrogen supply (Pajuelo et al., 2011). This quality has attracted attention for phytostabilisation of polluted soils (Reichman, 2007). Physiological studies suggest that low arsenite concentrations lead to a decrease of nodulation process (Dary et al., 2010; Pajuelo et al., 2008). Moreover, Lafuente et al. (2010) described a reduction in the expression patterns of nodulins genes in the presence of arsenite. Nevertheless, a global transcriptomic analysis has never been approached. In order to decipher the genetic regulation underlying the arsenite effect on the model symbiotic interaction Medicago-Sinorhizobium, we have performed a me
