Quadraticity conjecture for matroid base polytopes

Let M\mathcal{M} be a matroid with basis polytope PB(M)P_B(\mathcal{M}), and let IPB(M)I_{P_B(\mathcal{M})} be its toric ideal.

Matroid-base quadraticity conjecture. The toric ideal IPB(M)I_{P_B(\mathcal{M})} is quadratic.

This is presented as a weaker version of White's conjecture. The source does not give resolution evidence for this weaker statement, so its status is recorded as open.
