Stress-regulated elements in Lotus spp., as a possible starting point to understand signalling networks and stress adaptation in legumes

Although legumes are of primary economic importance for human and livestock consumption, the information regarding signalling networks during plant stress response in this group is very scarce. Lotus japonicus is a major experimental model within the Leguminosae family, whereas L. corniculatus and L...
