Summary statement

We investigated the role of nonsense‐mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in root nodule symbiosis using NMD‐deficient Medicago truncatula roots. We show that NMD is essential for root growth and efficient nodulation, likely because it regulates multiple symbiosis‐related pathways in the roots.
