- Abstract
- Legume species are a major source of protein for both human and animal nutrition. Proteins
from legumes possess the highest sustainability because, among other reasons, legume plants have
positive impact on soil fertility due to their ability to fix nitrogen via rhizobial symbioses. Medicago
truncatula was chosen as a model for legumes because it is diploid, with a relatively small genome
(450-550 Mb), self-fertile, relatively easy to transform, and it has a short generation time. In the last
years several mutant collections became available in both Europe and USA, based on different
strategies: chemical mutagenesis (TILLING); deletion mutagenesis (fast-neutron bombardment and
-rays); insertional mutagenesis (transposons such as Tnt1) (Porceddu et al, 2008; Tadege et al.,
2009, Rogers et al., 2009 ). Part of these collections were produced in Italy and used for isolating
mutants of interest related to traits of practical relevance, in particular a key gene involved in
saponin biosynthesis was identified. The possibility to speed up knowledge of the genetic control of
traits of agronomic interest and translate such knowledge to crop legumes via different means will
be discussed.
