Somebody claims that there some selfish rhizobia which take benefits from the host but do not induced nodulation at the host. I did not get enough evidence about this. Could anybody help me by giving some articles about this?
I truly agree with Antoun Sir about the white nodules that he mentioned, because if they have the rhizobia, then they would only use the carbon source without giving anything to the plant in return. These rhizobia may be referred to as selfish rhizobia.
Good luck Ali
Yes , thats the simplest way to identify the selfish rhizobia , my compliments to you Dr Hani . Can we call , expression of selfish rhizobia is the white small nodules...?
Not always Dr. Srivastava, sometimes brownish pink nodules of rhizobia also found inefficient in fixing nitrogen.
I never knew this. Thanks a lot for the incredible information on the selfish rhizobia
