Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Medtr3g092090
• Gene Symbol: MtYSL3
• Gene Name: Medicago truncatula Yellow Stripe1-Like3
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• MtYSL3 is a plasma membrane protein expressed by vascular cells in roots and nodules and by cortical nodule cells.
• Mutation of MtYSL3 results in a reduction of nitrogenase activity that affects plant growth, the likely consequence of reduced iron and zinc content in nodules and its altered distribution.
• MtYSL3 is involved in vascular transition metal delivery, probably iron and zinc, to nitrogen-fixing nodule cells, as well as uptake by cortical cells.
• These data suggest a role for MtYSL3 in vascular delivery of iron and zinc to symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
