Abstract

ABSTRACTGOLVEN/ROOT MERISTEM GROWTH FACTOR family of signaling peptides have been shown to control root lateral organ number, density and positioning in plants, although the signaling pathways involved remain obscure. A diverse set of 171Medicago truncatulaHapMap accessions with variation in responses to the GOLVEN 10 peptide, GLV10, were used to identify 74 significant loci controlling seven traits related to nodule formation and root architecture. Importantly, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the upstream region of the MtGLV10 peptide-inducible strigolactone receptor gene,MtDWARF14was significantly associated with insensitivity of nodule density to GLV10, suggesting a link between strigolactone signaling and GLV10 responsiveness. Three independentd14mutants of the DWARF14gene were found to hypernodulate, while overexpression of the gene led to reduction in nodule number, phenocopying GLV10. A null mutant,mtd14-1, remained sensitive to GLV10’s effect on nodule density. However, at the transcriptional level, the mutant failed to effectively induce the expression of the GOLVEN marker genes,MtPLETHORA3andMtPINLIKES2. Our study uncovers a hitherto unknown link between the strigolactone and GLV peptide signaling pathways using genotype x environment analysis of Medicago HapMap lines and provides a putative molecular mechanism for recovery from frost damage to fine roots.
