Abstract: Medicago truncatula is a chosen model for legumes towards deciphering fundamental legume biology, especially symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Current genomic resources for M. truncatula include a completed whole genome sequence information for R108 and Jemalong A17 accessions along with the sparse draft genome sequences for other 226 M. truncatula accessions. These genomic resources are complemented by the availability of mutant resources such as retrotransposon ( Tnt1 ) insertion mutants in R108 and fast neutron bombardment (FNB) mutants in A17. In addition, several M. truncatula databases such as small secreted peptides (SSPs) database, transporter protein database, gene expression atlas, proteomic atlas, and metabolite atlas are available to the research community. This review describes these resources and provide information regarding how to access these resources.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest in this work.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.
