Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have
so few rhizobial nodules on their roots?
When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having
rhizobial nodules.
The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the
soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea
plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia.
The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the
soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia
to keep the nitrogen for itself.
When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to
having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies
so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.
