Heterologous expression of the immune receptor EFR in Medicago truncatula reduces pathogenic infection, but not rhizobial symbiosis

Sebastian Pfeilmeier, Jeoffrey George, Alice Morel, Sonali Roy, Matthew Smoker, Lena Stransfeld, J. Allan Downie, Nemo Peeters, Jacob G. Malone, Cyril Zipfel

This study transfers the immune receptor EFR from Arabidopsis to Medicago truncatula, enhancing resistance to a bacterial pathogen without impairing rhizobial symbiosis.
