The plant specific Histone Lysine Demethylase MtPKDM9B mediates the root nodule symbiosis by controlling H3K27me3 levels and expression of symbiotic genes

This study identifies MtPKDM9B, a histone demethylase, as essential for root nodule symbiosis by modulating H3K27me3 levels and symbiotic gene expression in Medicago truncatula.

The GTPase ARFA1 interactor Cullin 3 Substrate-adaptor Protein 1 (CSP1) positively modulates nodulation

This paper identifies MtCSP1 as an interactor of MtARFA1, showing its role in rhizobial infection and nodule formation by linking ARFA1 to ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation.

The subunit 3 of the SUPERKILLER (SKI) complex mediates miR172-directed cleavage of Nodule Number Control 1 (NNC1) to modulate nodulation in Medicago truncatula

The paper shows that MtSKI3 mediates miR172 cleavage of MtNNC1, regulating nodulation in Medicago truncatula by affecting nodule number and bacterial infection.
