An O-methyltransferase (OMT) which methylates the 2'-hydroxyl of isoliquiritigenin (2',4,4'-trihydroxychalcone) was identified in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seedlings and cell cultures. The OMT activity increased during early stages of seedling development and was predominantly located in roots.
Coumestrol has long been known as the phytoestrogenic compound in alfalfa. However, it has been demonstrated that the ethyl acetate extract of alfalfa sprout (AEA) attenuated the disease severity and increased survival and life span of autoimmune-prone MRL-lpr/lpr mice. Coumestrol, on the contrary,
To gain an insight into the molecular mechanisms of quantitative disease resistance in Medicago truncatula to the root-infecting oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches, we selected two near-isogenic lines (NILs), NR and NS, partially resistant and susceptible, respectively, differing in the allelic state of
Metabolic profiling of elicited barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) cell cultures using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to photodiode and mass spectrometry detection revealed the accumulation of the aurone hispidol (6-hydroxy-2-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]-1-benzofuran-3-one) as a
Initiation of symbiotic nodules in legumes requires cytokinin signaling, but its mechanism of action is largely unknown. Here, we tested whether the failure to initiate nodules in the Medicago truncatula cytokinin perception mutant cre1 (cytokinin response1) is due to its altered ability to regulate
(Iso)flavonoids are a diverse group of plant secondary metabolites with important effects on plant, animal and human health. They exist in various glycosidic forms. Glycosylation, which may determine their bioactivities and functions, is controlled by specific plant uridine diphosphate
