Nodule-specific Cu+-chaperone NCC1 is required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula root nodules

This study identifies MtNCC1 as a nodule-specific Cu+-chaperone essential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula, showing reduced nitrogenase and copper-dependent cytochrome c oxidase activity in mutants.

Arabidopsis thaliana Zn2+-efflux ATPases HMA2 and HMA4 are required for resistance to the necrotrophic fungus Plectosphaerella cucumerina BMM

This study shows that HMA2 and HMA4 zinc efflux ATPases in Arabidopsis are critical for resistance to the necrotrophic fungus PcBMM, with zinc accumulation and defense hormone pathways playing a key role.

Soybean Yellow Stripe-like7 is a symbiosome membrane peptide transporter essential for nitrogen fixation

This study identifies GmYSL7 as a symbiosome membrane peptide transporter essential for nitrogen fixation, with silencing blocking symbiosome development and reducing nitrogenase activity.

Medicago truncatula Yellow Stripe-Like7 encodes a peptide transporter required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation

The paper identifies MtYSL7 as a peptide transporter essential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula, with evidence of its role in transition metal homeostasis.

Nicotianamine synthase 2 is required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula nodules

This study shows that MtNAS2 is essential for iron delivery in Medicago truncatula nodules, supporting symbiotic nitrogen fixation.

Medicago truncatula Ferroportin2 mediates iron import into nodule symbiosomes

This study shows that MtFPN2 in Medicago truncatula is essential for iron delivery to symbiosomes, supporting nitrogen fixation, but not for vascular iron transport.

Medicago truncatula copper transporter1 (MtCOPT1) delivers copper for symbiotic nitrogen fixation

The paper identifies MtCOPT1 as a copper transporter essential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula, showing its role in copper delivery to nodules and its impact on nitrogenase activity and biomass.

Medicago truncatula Zinc-Iron Permease6 provides zinc to rhizobia-infected nodule cells

This study identifies MtZIP6 as a zinc transporter critical for zinc delivery to rhizobia-infected nodule cells, essential for nitrogen fixation when mineral nitrogen is unavailable.
