Medicago truncatula (Barrel Medic or Barrel Medick or Barrel Clover) is a small legume native to the Mediterranean region that is used in genomic research. It is a low-growing, clover-like plant 10–60 cm tall with trifoliate leaves. Each leaflet is rounded, 1–2 cm long, often with a dark spot in the center. The flowers are yellow, produced singly or in a small inflorescence of 2-5 together; the fruit is a small spiny pod.

  • Medicago truncatula (Barrel Medic or Barrel Medick or Barrel Clover) is a small legume native to the Mediterranean region that is used in genomic research. It is a low-growing, clover-like plant 10–60 cm tall with trifoliate leaves. Each leaflet is rounded, 1–2 cm long, often with a dark spot in the center. The flowers are yellow, produced singly or in a small inflorescence of 2-5 together; the fruit is a small spiny pod. This species has been chosen as a model organism for legume biology because it has a small diploid genome, is self-fertile, has a rapid generation time and prolific seed production, and is amenable to genetic transformation. The genome of M. truncatula is currently being sequenced. It forms symbioses with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana does not form either symbiosis, making M. truncatula an important tool for studying these processes. The nodule formation is apparently dependent on the flavonoids pathway. It is also an important forage crop species in Australia.

  • Medicago truncatula, plus communément appelée luzerne tronquée, est une plante de la famille des Fabaceae. Elle fait partie des plantes annuelles du genre Medicago. Elle a été identifiée comme la plante modèle des Fabaceae puisque ces dernières présentent la capacité de former des nodosités racinaires capables de fixer l'azote atmosphérique. Cette espèce est diploïde (2n = 16) et présente une grande synténie avec certaines espèces très cultivées comme le pois ou la luzerne. Son génome (sept fois plus petit que celui du pois) permet d'accéder rapidement aux séquences génomiques et de produire des mutants qui servent notamment pour l'identification du rôle fonctionnel des gènes. Tout ceci permet, également, de constituer rapidement des cartes génétiques et physiques qui sont un atout majeur dans la recherche génétique. Ces cartes permettent, entre autres, d'évaluer la synténie existant entre les espèces de Légumineuses afin d'identifier certains gènes chez ces autres espèces.
  • L'erba medica troncata è una pianta della famiglia delle Fabacee, nativa della regione Mediterranea. A causa delle dimensioni ridotte del suo genoma e del rapido tempo di crescita M. truncatula è stata scelta come organismo modello per lo studio della biologia delle leguminose. Il suo genoma è in corso di sequenziamento.
  • Люцерна трункатула — небольшое бобовое растение, естественно встречающееся в Средиземноморье. Не имеет общепринятого русского названия, в литературе используется латинское название вида — Medicago truncatula. Высота растения 10-60 см, похоже на клевер, трехлистное, каждый листочек округлый, 1-2 см в длину, часто с темной точкой в центре. Цветки желтые, одиночные или в соцветиях по 2-5, плод маленький колючий боб. Medicago truncatula используется как модельный организм в биологии. Имеет малый диплоидный геном, самоопыляется, имеет быструю сменую поколений, образует много семян, легко подвергается генетической трансформации. Геном Medicago truncatula в настоящее время секвенируют. Образует симбиотические отношения с азотфиксирующими микоризными бактериями и с арбускулярными микоризными грибами. Другое модельное растение Arabidopsis thaliana не образует таких форм симбиотических взаимоотношений, и это делает M. truncatula важным объектом изучения таких процессов. Является важным кормовым растением в Австралии.
