Context dependence in the coevolution of plant and rhizobial mutualists.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2007

Heath Katy D, Tiffin Peter

Abstract excerpt

Several mechanisms are expected to rapidly rid mutualisms of genetic variation in partner quality. Variation for mutualist quality, however, appears to be widespread. We used a model legume-rhizobium mutualism to test for evidence that context-dependent selection may maintain variation in partner quality. In a greenhouse experiment using 10 natural populations of Medicago truncatula and two strains of...
