API mutant sequencing
The M. truncatula api mutant exhibits developmental (root hair) and symbiotic (altered infection by Sinorhizobium meliloti) phenotypes (Teillet et al 2008, Mol Plant Microbe Interact. 21:535-46. doi: 10.1094/MPMI-21-5-0535). Genetic analysis indicated that a single recessive mutation controlled the observed phenotype and located the mutation to a 500 kb interval on M. truncatula chromosome 4. To identify a candidate mutation in this interval controlling the api phenotype , the genome of an api mutant is sequenced by Illumina technology.
