Expression of the Arabidopsis thaliana immune receptor EFR in Medicago truncatula reduces infection by a root pathogenic bacterium, but not nitrogen-fixing rhizobial symbiosis. (jic.ac.uk)

The characterization of dynamic changes in the translatome of Medicago truncatula roots at early stages of the root nodule symbiosis led us to the identification of mRNAs that significantly increased or decreased their levels of association with polysomes, some of which play essential roles in nodulation (e.g., pectate lyase, SINA and NCR secreted peptides).
