“…lupulina (black medick), belonging to the same genus with alfalfa, is widely distributed in temperate and subtropical regions and possesses the tenacious survival and reproduction ability (Yan, Chu, Wang, Li, & Tao, 2009). Yurkova, Jacobi, Gapeeva, Stepanova, and Shishova (2015) reported that the black medick cultivar-population could be characterized as an ecologically obligate mycotrophic plant under conditions of low level of available phosphorus in the soil. A long-term cover cropping with black medic showed that Triticum aestivum following black medic had a higher early percent root length colonized by AMF, suggesting that cover cropping with black medic was an effective method of increasing early AMF colonization (Turmel, 2007).…”

High concentrations of soil Al 3+ in acid soil severely influence the growth of Medicago sativa (alfalfa). The objective of the current study was to analyze whether Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) inoculation could improve alfalfa growth in acid soils. A two-way completely randomized factorial design was employed for M. sativa and M. lupulina (black medick) with two inoculations (rhizobia and AMF) and three Al 3+ levels, and replicated four times. The soil Al 3+ levels were adjusted to 900 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg and 1100 mg/kg. Spores of AMF were isolated directly from rhizosphere soils of black medick. The rhizobia were isolated from root nodules in fields separately from two plant species. At each Al 3+ level, there were four inoculations, non-inoculation, AMF solely, rhizobia solely and dual-inoculation with AMF and rhizobia. Soil Al 3+ concentration significantly limited above-and below-ground growth of both alfalfa and black medick, reducing plant height, branching number, shoot and root weight, and root length, surface area and volume. Compared to rhizobia, AMF showed a higher tolerance to soil Al 3+ . AMF inoculation increased the shoot and root weight of both plant species under most circumstances. Overall, AMF colonization had a trend in increasing the contents of phosphorus in both plant species at all Al 3+ concentrations but not nitrogen and potassium. Dual inoculation significantly increased nodulation ability, enabling both plant species to form nodules at 900 and 1000 mg/kg Al 3+ . Though the soil Al 3+ concentration influenced the efficiency of AMF inoculation, AMF inoculation improved nodulation, increased plant growth and nutrient uptake, suggesting that it was an alternative way in improving alfalfa growth in acid soils.

“…Plants of the line MlS-1 (for Medicago lupulina Spring) [28] demonstrate dwarism when grown in the soil with low Pi (inorganic phosphorus) level in the absence of the AM fungi inoculation but can grow normally when inoculated with AM fungus. Therefore, MlS-1 line is considered highly efective in AM symbiosis formation (as inoculation by fungi dramatically heightens the plant biomass).…”

“…It is valuable as a pasture legume component in complex grass mixtures and can also be used as an intermediate culture in crop rotation and as green manure. Black medick is characterised by high protein, vitamin and mineral content, long growing season and ability for improving soil fertility due to nitrogen ixation, therefore being a perfect lawn plant [28]. Black medick is a very promising object for studying AM functioning and development, since a unique genetic line of M. lupulina obligatory dependent on arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis formation has been selected from the spring landrace population VIK-32 of M. lupulina var.…”

Transcriptomics is a dynamically developing branch of biology highly important for geneticists and molecular ecologists alike. A large number of studies concerning diferential gene expression, mapping of genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL), analysis of genotyping variations and so on has been conducted recently on several non-model plants using next-generation sequencing techniques. One example of non-model legumes is garden pea (Pisum sativum L.), a valuable pulse crop capable of forming nitrogen-ixing nodules and arbuscular mycorrhiza. Adaptation of standardised RNA-seq approaches and data analysis developed for model plants to P. sativum should facilitate both studying of pea molecular genetics and breeding of new cultivars possessing agriculturally important traits. Another non-model legume is black medick Medicago lupulina L. (a close relative of model legume plant barrel medick, Medicago truncatula Gaertn.), for which unique genetic lines almost obligatory dependent on arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis formation have been obtained. Such lines show promise as the perfect model for studying the genetic bases of arbuscular mycorrhiza development. In this chapter, we give a brief description of the current developments in the ield of garden pea and black medick transcriptomics. Our aim is to provide a quick start guide to the non-expert researchers for next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based transcriptome analysis.
