Identification and functional evaluation of cyclin-dependent kinase genes reveals that CDKB1;1 and CDKB2;2 contribute to the balance of mitosis and endoreduplication in Medicago truncatula nodule
Our study presents the comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the CDK gene family in M. truncatula, demonstrating that the essential role of CDKB1;1 and CDKB2;2 downregulation in symbiotic nitrogen fixation and endoreduplication offers new insights into cell cycle regulation in nodules. It also identifies potential targets for improving nitrogen fixation efficiency in legumes.
