Establishment of the model system between phytochemicals and gene expression profiles in Macrosclereid cells of Medicago truncatula

Abstract Macrosclereid cells, which are a layer in the seed coat of Medicago truncatula, accumulate large amounts of phytochemicals during their development. But little is known about the complex and dynamic changes during macrosclereid cell development. To characterize the phytochemicals and the re...
