Project description:In hairy roots of the model legume Medicago truncatula the saponin production can be elicited by methyl jasmonate treatment. To identify genes potentially involved in saponin biosynthesis or its regulation we carried out transcript profiling by RNA-Seq of M. truncatula hairy roots treated with 100 μM of methyl jasmonate (dissolved in ethanol) for two or 24 hours. As control, M. truncatula hairy roots treated with an equivalent amount of ethanol were profiled.
