Drought severely constrains alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) productivity, yet dissecting drought-response mechanisms in this important perennial forage crop remains challenging because of its highly heterozygous autotetraploid genome, the extended cycle required for stable transformation and regeneration, and the time-con...

This study identified two functionally redundant
REC8
homologs (
MtREC8a
and
MtREC8b
) in the model legume
Medicago truncatula
; single mutants are fertile while double mutants are sterile with nonviable pollen, confirming conserved
REC8
function and laying the foundation for developing
MiMe

Seed physical dormancy is a crucial adaptive trait conferred by the water-impermeable seed coat, particularly its specialized palisade layer. Although the structural components of this barrier, including the cuticle and cell wall polysaccharides, are well characterized, the molecular mechanisms coordinating their forma...
