Rhizobial variation, more than plant variation, mediates plant symbiotic and fitness responses to herbicide stress.

Abstract excerpt

Symbiotic mutualisms provide critical ecosystem services throughout the world. Anthropogenic stressors, however, may disrupt mutualistic interactions and impact ecosystem health. The plant-rhizobia symbiosis promotes plant growth and contributes to the nitrogen (N) cycle. While off-target herbicide exposure is recognized as a significant stressor impacting wild plants, we lack knowledge about how it affects the...
