With the growing limitations on arable land, alfalfa (a widely cultivated, low-input forage) is now being selected to extend cultivation into saline lands for low-cost biofeedstock purposes. Here, minerals and transcriptome profiles were compared between two new salinity-tolerant North American alfalfa breeding populations and a more salinity-sensitive western Canadian alfalfa population grown under hydroponic saline conditions. All three populations accumulated two-fold higher sodium in roots…

Genome-Wide Identification of GRAS Gene Family and Their Responses to Abiotic Stress in Medicago sativa
TLDR
The genome-wide characterization, evolutionary, and expression analysis suggested that the MsGRAS proteins might play crucial roles in response to abiotic stresses and hormonal cues in alfalfa.
Morphological, Physiological, and Genetic Responses to Salt Stress in Alfalfa: A Review
TLDR
It is clear that alfalfa salt tolerance can be better characterized, genes conditioning salt tolerance be identified, and new marker-based tools be developed to accelerate al falfa breeding for salt tolerance.
Transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes in leaves and roots of two alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars with different salt tolerance
TLDR
An RNA-Seq technique was applied to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with salt stress in two alfalfa cultivars: salt tolerant ‘Halo’ and salt intolerant ‘Vernal’, and Ion binding was found to be a key molecular activity for salt tolerance in al falfa under salt stress.
An Insight into microRNA156 Role in Salinity Stress Responses of Alfalfa
TLDR
The results reveal that overexpression of miR156 plays a role in mediating physiological and transcriptional responses of alfalfa to salinity stress.
Transcriptomic and Physiological Analyses Reveal the Dynamic Response to Salinity Stress of the Garden Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.)
TLDR
The transcriptome analysis shed light on the salinity stress response mechanisms in A. officinalis and provided a basis for future studies on salt-tolerance molecular improvement.
Biological features and regulatory mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants
TLDR
Characterization of some particularly promising halophyte model organisms has revealed the important new insights into the salt tolerance mechanisms used by plants, which provide a basis for future studies of salt tolerance in plants, as well as the development of improved strategies for saline agriculture to increase yields of food, feed, and fuel crops.
Molecular improvement of alfalfa for enhanced productivity and adaptability in a changing environment.
TLDR
Progress that has been made towards the improvement of productivity, abiotic stress tolerance, and nutrient-use efficiency, as well as disease and pest resistance, in alfalfa using biotechnological techniques are discussed.
Alfalfa Growth under Changing Environments: An Overview
TLDR
This review represents an attempt to highlight the positive sides of alfalfa production, particularly the sustainable use of this crop in bio-organic fertilizer production, and the chemical and anatomical properties of this plant will also be reviewed.
The CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Modulation of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE 8 in Alfalfa Leads to Distinct Phenotypic Outcomes
TLDR
It is suggested that allelic mutational dosage can elicit phenotypic gradients in alfalfa, and discrepancies may exist in terms of MsSPL8 function between al falfa genotypes, growth conditions, or specific alleles.
Transcriptome analysis of microRNA156 overexpression alfalfa roots under drought stress
TLDR
It is suggested that microRNA156 improves drought tolerance in alfalfa by targeting WD40-2, and the number of differentially expressed genes belonging to biological process, molecular function and cell component functional groups was decreased in miR156OE genotypes under drought.

Analysis of the alfalfa root transcriptome in response to salinity stress.
TLDR
A number of salt-responsive genes in both tested genotypes were identified and assigned to functional classes, and gene candidates with roles in the adaptation to salinity were proposed.
Integrative functional genomics of salt acclimatization in the model legume Lotus japonicus.
TLDR
The combined observations suggest a successive and increasingly global requirement for the reprogramming of gene expression and metabolic pathways to maintain ionic and osmotic homeostasis during salt acclimatization.
Screening of genes induced by salt stress from Alfalfa
TLDR
An alfalfa cDNA library induced by salt stress was constructed by suppression subtraction hybridization (SSH) technology and deduced protein sequences revealed that 51 ESTs had identity similar to proteins with known function, while 24 could not be annotated at all.
Inherent responses to root-zone salinity in nine alfalfa populations
TLDR
Alfalfa productivity can be enhanced by growing crops from cultivars tolerant of root-zone salinity in nine alfalfa populations grown in sand tanks irrigated with nutrient-sulphate solutions averaging 1.53 dS m−1 in electrical conductivity.
The impact of genotype and salinity on physiological function, secondary metabolite accumulation, and antioxidative responses in lettuce.
TLDR
Evaluations of two lettuce types under iso-osmotic 100 mM NaCl and 77 mM Na(2)SO(4) treatments show that Verte displayed better growth, contained lower levels of inorganic cations in leaves, and possessed superior antioxidative capacity due to enhanced carotenoid and phenolics biosynthesis and more active antioxidative enzymes resulting in reduced membrane damage.
Recent developments in understanding salinity tolerance
Comparative ionomics and metabolomics in extremophile and glycophytic Lotus species under salt stress challenge the metabolic pre-adaptation hypothesis.
TLDR
This study is the first comparing salt acclimation responses between extremophile and non-extremophile legumes, and challenges the generalization of the metabolic salt pre-adaptation hypothesis.
Proteomic analysis of the enhancement of seed vigour in osmoprimed alfalfa seeds germinated under salinity stress
TLDR
Proteomics data provide a biochemical understanding of the increase in seed vigour generally observed with primed seeds, and numerous changes observed in the proteome of the untreated control seeds imbibed in the presence of salt can be substantially reversed in osmoprimed seeds undergoing this stress.
Expression of an alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) ethylene response factor gene MsERF8 in tobacco plants enhances resistance to salinity
TLDR
Exposure of MsERF8 in transgenic tobacco plants resulted in higher tolerance to salinity than with non-transgenic plants and has strong potential to impart salt tolerance to other crop plants.
Using RNA-Seq for gene identification, polymorphism detection and transcript profiling in two alfalfa genotypes with divergent cell wall composition in stems
TLDR
The results demonstrate that RNA-Seq can be successfully used for gene identification, polymorphism detection and transcript profiling in alfalfa, a non-model, allogamous, autotetraploid species.
