Comparative Analysis of Seed Maturation Events in M. truncatula and Arabidopsis.
(A) and (B) Characterization of the acquisition of different seed traits in Arabidopsis (A) and M. truncatula
(B). Desiccation tolerance and longevity were derived from Supplemental Figure 2 and Figure 1D. Accumulation of storage reserves and nonreducing sugars is derived from Baud et al. (2002) for Arabidopsis and from Gallardo et al. (2007) for M. truncatula.
(C) Heat map of SCC values between seed developmental stages of M. truncatula (columns) and Arabidopsis (rows).
(D) Transcript levels of marker genes of seed development in M. truncatula and Arabidopsis. TT8 (At4g09820; Medtr1g072320), FUS3 (At3g26790; Medtr7g083700), ANAC100 (At5g61430; Mtr.41161.1.S1_at), EM6 (At2g40170; Medtr4g016960), and EM1 (At3g51810; Medtr7g069250). DD, dry mature seeds.
