Mutant Detail

Mutant Detail:

Mutant Symbol	EFD RNAi
Allele Symbol	EFD RNAi
Gene and Mutation Location	EFD (RNAi silencing)
Symbiotic Phenotype Brief	Nod++
Phenotype Detail	M. truncatula roots were transformed with an EFD RNA interference (RNAi) construct expressed under the control of the 35S cauliflower mosaic virus promoter. A significant increase in nodulation and in the number of infection threads was observed in these roots, corresponding to a weaker efd mutant allele.
Single gene targeted?	yes
Extra Information
Mutagenesis Method	RNAi
Mutant Class	Nod++
Allelism
The earliest development stage known to be affected	N/A
Wildtype Line	Jemalong A17
