1) The study aimed to understand the role of amino acid transporters MtN21-org and MtN21-3 in nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula root nodules formed during symbiosis with Sinorhizobium meliloti bacteria. 2) RNAi constructs targeting the transporters were used to transform M. truncatula roots, which were then inoculated with S. meliloti. 3) Preliminary results from acetylene reduction assays showed slightly higher nitrogen fixation in plants transformed with MtN21-org RNAi, though activity levels and sample sizes were low. Further replication was needed.
