Abstract

Introduction

• Soybean-Bradyrhizobium symbiosis enables natural nitrogen fixation in the nodules of a legume's root system.
• Long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer, commonly used in traditional agriculture, can causes microevolution in soil microbiomes that impact mutualism (Weese et al. 2015).
• Reduced mutualism often decreases plant performance and productivity.
• This study examines how soybean- Bradyrhizobium symbiosis is impacted by fertilization history, by examining nodule health and legume productivity.
