Overexpression of the alfalfa () gene, , negatively regulates seed germination in transgenic tobacco ().

Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-associated proteins are a class of transmembrane proteins involved in intracellular trafficking pathways. However, the functions of many SNARE domain-containing proteins remain unclear. We have previously identified a SNARE-associated gene in alfalfa (Medicago sativa ) KILLING ME SLOWLY1 (MsKMS1 ), which is involved in various abiotic stresses.
