MLO — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G115940, designated MtMLO, encodes a calmodulin-binding membrane protein belonging to the MLO family. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with the regulation of flavonoid anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, nodulation, and defense responses. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to powdery mildew susceptibility and root symbiosis, though these roles are not yet established for MtMLO itself.
