The research was specifically about introducing nitrogen-fixing organelles into plants because they have none. Precision is valuable since this was in direct contradiction to the original topic. Maybe common parlance is better-suited to a thread on vegetable gardening than microbiology.

> There are plenty of plants that fix nitrogen already, and nitrogen fixing plants would dominate an ecosystem if Nitrogen were a primary constraint on growth.

No plants can fix nitrogen. Hence this research?
