Nitrogen addition does not influence pre-infection partner choice in the legume-rhizobium symbiosis.

American journal of botany - 1 Oct 2016

Grillo Michael A, Stinchcombe John R, Heath Katy D

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Resource mutualisms such as the symbiosis between legumes and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are context dependent and are sensitive to various aspects of the environment, including nitrogen (N) addition. Mutualist hosts such as legumes are also thought to use mechanisms such as partner choice to discriminate among potential symbionts that vary in partner quality (fitness benefits conferred to...
