Aspartate Aminotransferase in Alfalfa Nodules: Localization of mRNA During Effective and Ineffective Nodule Development and Promoter Analysis

Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) plays a critical role in the assimilation of symbiotically fixed nitrogen into aspartate and asparagine in legume root nodules. The enzyme occurs as a cytosolic form (AAT1) and a plastid form (AAT2) in alfalfa nodules. To elucidate the functional role of each isozyme...
